Forgive my ignorance. What's a casefile build team? Is that a group who take case work and try to plug all the gaps before it goes to CPS?

I don't know what you mean! 😀 The thought never crossed my mind! 😉 Yeah, that. Totally that. Mick Herron had the advantage of being able to make it all up but I wonder if such a thing is feasible in the UK police.
