When a young woman, Lizzie Faulkner, is shot 2️⃣ late at night outside the holiday chalet where she and two friends are staying for the weekend, Vera and Joe 2️⃣ suspect that her murder is linked to poachers operating in nearby fields. They identify a suspect, Robert Doran, but despite 2️⃣ being in the vicinity at the time, he denies being responsible for Lizzie's murder. Vera begins to suspect the woman's 2️⃣ death may have been a case of mistaken identity, and that the intended victim may have been one of the 2️⃣ chalet designers, Corrine Franks, who was meant to have been staying there at the time. A link to a tragic 2️⃣ car accident a few months earlier involving Corrine, which led to an innocent woman losing her life, appears to confirm 2️⃣ their theory. When Corrine is later killed in a hit-and-run, the team finally get the breakthrough they have been looking 2️⃣ for.
