Swords into Ploughshares

Plot
Laura is distressed to hear that Rosemary was shot dead while working at Engleton Park, but finds a very lively corpse at the home of Rosemary's mother. Bodies, motives, suspects and clues pile up around an archaeological mystery.

Quotes

 * (A body was found which the police wrongly identified as Rosemary's. Now Rosemary is introduced to the policeman who is investigating the murder) Laura Thyme: May I present Dr Rosemary Boxer. Reports of her death have been greatly exaggerated. DI Derek Mills: I'm terribly sorry we made such a mistake. Rosemary Boxer: (Drily) I'm not, funnily enough!
 * Laura Thyme: If looks could kill, I'd be the one with the luggage ticket on my toe.
 * DI Derek Mills: (About to show a cadaver) You ready for this? Laura Thyme: We've seen dead bodies before.
 * Rosemary Boxer: (Observing Earle digging in the lawn) What is your professional opinion of these? Dr Richard Earle: (Sarcastically) Well, these are what archaeologists call 'holes in the ground.'
 * Laura Thyme: Upsidedown cake? I'll bet it's the right side up!
 * Mike Garner: (Looking at pictures of artifacts) What I've give to have this in my collection! Laura Thyme: It must be priceless. Mike Garner: (Cynically) Everything's got a price.

Trivia

 * The portrait painting used to represent the late Lord Engleton is the same painting hanging on the wall of the landing as Lewis and Hathaway are descending the stairs from Dr. Yelland's room in the "The Indelible Stain" episode of the Inspector Lewis series.

Continuity

 * Laura's cup of tea (offered after hearing the news of Rosemary's death) is initially about half full. However, when she sets it down to leave it is back to being a decent cuppa.

Miscellaneous

 * The credits mistakenly list the character Dennis Garner as Mike Garner.
