Description:
Based on the best-selling novel by award-winning writer, Minette Walters. The Ice House is an enthralling, tangled web of secrets and murder.
When the gardener informs the ladies of the house, Phoebe Maybury (Penny Downie) and her two friends, that he has found a dead body in the ice house, Chief Inspector Walsh (Corin Redgrave) and Sergeant McLoughlin (Daniel Craig) are called to the scene. Walsh is excited because ten years ago he led an investigation into the disappearance of Phoebe's husband at this house, but the body was never found. He suspects that they've finally found their missing man and that Phoebe is the murderess. But the investigation takes some twists and turns, and Sergeant McLoughlin finds himself increasingly attracted to one of the suspects. Will the mystery behind the disappearance of Phoebe Maybury's husband be solved at last?
