Landry, May, Patterson

Landry, May, Patterson is a law firm connected to the investigation into Lula Landry’s death through questions about information and access. The evidence places it in the inquiry surrounding clothing sent from Kentigern Gardens to Claridges and the keys to Lula’s flat, but does not establish its internal structure, individual members, or specific role in the case.

Information Sought During the Investigation

Strike asks Eric Wardle to contact Deeby Macc, who had been at Barrack, not because Macc could identify where Tansy Bestigui was when Lula died, but to learn which clothes had been sent from Kentigern Gardens to Claridges, particularly items supplied by Guy Somé. The exchange shows the inquiry following a material lead connected to the law firm’s wider professional and social orbit; it does not say that Landry, May, Patterson sent the clothes or controlled their transfer.

Questions of Access

When Strike asks whether a key had been lost or lent to anyone, the answer is no. This denial matters to the investigation because it leaves the question of access to Lula’s flat unresolved rather than identifying a known lost or loaned key. The evidence does not specify that the firm possessed a key or was responsible for managing access.

Limits of the Evidence

Landry, May, Patterson is named in the case context, but the cited material provides no account of its founding, clients, staffing, or day-to-day work. Its significance here is therefore limited to the investigative setting: the questions concern potentially relevant information and access, while the available answers do not directly implicate the firm.
