"Trust ye not in a friend, put he not confidence in a guide." - Micah, Verse 7 Chapter 5 When a sunny morning presents an unnamed corpse stuffed into a black carrier bag and dumped outside a local charity shop, Detective Inspector Jack Munday and his team scramble to piece together the man's identity. The trail leads them into the excesses of London's highly paid bankers, where a lifestyle of drugs, sex, risk-taking and flamboyant living come easily. Doing his best to keep his messy personal life from affecting his job, Munday works to uncover the surprising past of a now-powerful cohort, whose present mission is to keep the Detective away from uncovering the uncomfortable truth behind the uncharitable murder.

Micah Seven Five leans much more towards Morse or Midsommer than towards the bleak, melancholy of Nordic noir or the urban grit of The Sweeney. There’s considerable detail, following the police investigation while intimately reporting everyday reality; locations, clothing and characters, and the awkward, frequently fractious confrontations between the estranged couple.
The plot plays second fiddle to these detailed scenes – and indeed, once most of the characters are introduced and the body identified it’s not too tricky to work out what might have been happening.
Overall, it’s satisfying to be proved right about the identity of the murderer. And to be surprised by one or two daring twists.
7/10
