Word of the Wainthropp Detective Agency has spread, and Hetty (Patrick Routledge) finds herself taking on clients beyond the cozy confines of Lancashire. With her chracteristic combination of shrewdness and compassion, she sleuths out trith in a Cumbrian iron mine, a stately country mansion, and even a historic coastal fishing village.
