Whitstable Pearl, Season 2 (Acorn TV Original) | Episodes 3 and 4 of 6

Episode 3: The Offer

After inheriting a beloved local pub from her mother, Molly Stratton (Kerry Godliman, After Life) puts it up for sale to the highest bidder, rather than selling it back to the community. She turns to Pearl for help to deal with the anonymous threats she's been receiving - including a dead seagull on her doorstep. When the pub is sold, the situation takes an even darker turn.

Episode 4: The Gumshoe and the Femme Fatale

When 1970s movie icon Zelda St John changes her will, leaving her fortune to her housekeeper, Natalia, the young woman seeks out Pearl, fearing that Zelda's family might hurt her. Not long afterward, Zelda is found unconscious at her home, attacked with a croquet mallet, and Natalia disappears. Clashing over who they believe is responsible, Mike (Howard Charles, Shadow and Bone) and Pearl lead separate investigations. (2 EPS, 2022)
