Inspector Lewis encore

Tomorrow on Masterpiece Mystery, viewers can enjoy an encore presentation of Inspector Lewis: Allegory of Love, an episode from series II of the mystery series that aired last summer. Starring Kevin Whately and Laurence Fox, Allegory of Love is, as I recall, a highly entertaining episode. Here's a bit about the story to whet your appetite:
Young and handsome Oxford writer Dorian Crane is following in the noted fantasy footsteps of C.S. Lewis and J.R.R. Tolkien with his newest book. The day after Crane's book launch party, reality shatters the celebratory mood when a young Czech barmaid is found dead by the river, savagely murdered with an antique Persian mirror. Some of the grisly circumstances seem to have been lifted from Crane's fiction. But the celebrated author claims no knowledge of the crime, instead fawning over his bride-to-be and muse Alice Wishart. At the murder scene, Lewis and Hathaway find a one-word note scrawled in blood that references a place in Iraq. As a result, Lewis and Hathaway get pulled into the world of Oxford's literary elite, only to find that it harbors resentment and jealousy and at its center, holds terrible secrets beyond all imagination.

This sounds great! I'd looove to watch it, but once again, family obligations get in the way.
I appreciate you letting us know what's coming on, as I don't have a guide, and your alerts are much more convenient!
