She's aided and abetted by her outspoken, feisty mom Dolly (Barber) and still going strong with boyfriend Tom (Webb).

After a short hiatus, DCI Mike McGuire returns to Whitstable, reenergized and determined to make progress in his quest for self-healing. He and Pearl continue to make a formidable team as they work through various cases together - Pearl never needing Mike's help as much as he needs hers! As cracks start to show in Pearl and Tom's relationship, and Mike finally comes to terms with how his wife died, will Pearl and Mike finally acknowledge their deep feelings for one another?
