Two unsolved double murders from the 1980s cast a shadow over the work of the Dyfed Powys police force. In 2006, newly promoted Detective Superintendent Steve Wilkins decided to reopen both cases. Employing pioneering forensic methods, Wilkins and his handpicked team found microscopic DNA and fibres that potentially linked the murders to a string of burglaries committed in the 80s and 90s. The perpetrator of those robberies was nearing the end of his prison sentence, but if Steve Wilkins was right, he was also a serial killer.... Could Steve and his team find enough forensic evidence to charge their suspect before he was released to potentially kill again?

It was sombre and careful without ever being boring. Evans held it all together with not only his granite-like physicality but also a sense that, underneath, compassion ran deep. Go to Full Review Suzi Feay Financial Times 01/14/2021

Far from his usual scenery-chewing roles, this more muted [Luke] Evans fits the tone of the drama. Go to Full Review Anne Brodie What She Said 01/29/2021
Keith Allen as manipulative suspect John Cooper is absolutely nerve rattling; what a performance! Go to Full Review Sara Wallis Daily Mirror (UK) 01/20/2021
We're all familiar with dramas about troubled detectives who doggedly pursue evidence, but the real-life case of The Pembrokeshire Murders felt fresh and, dare I say it... uplifting. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
