I say Kate Atkinson's Jackson Brodie series. Case Histories is the first one, and the title of the TV adaptation with Jason Isaacs that did the first three books.
Not yet. You can find the first three books in Cinemax but I heard they transferred the rights to AMC for Lethal White, I’m not sure. Have you tried YouTube? Someone dowloaded the series but I don’t know if the videos are still there. I used ExpressVPN to watch the BBC One series in the USA.
Kate Atkinson's Jackson Brodie series might work. If you want to see the TV versions, Case Histories is up on IMDbTV (the free w/ads version of Amazon Prime).
Brodie, btw, is played in the tv series by Jason Isaacs (aka Lucius Malfoy in the Harry Potter movies). :D :D I like him much better as a good guy.

The review photos show how various pages look, including the hard copy chats.
They appeared in columns and were happening simultaneously. At first I found it really hard to read, but then I just did one full column at a time, then turned pages back to read the next full column. The chats made sense that way, but it was hard to compare who was silent/chatting at the same time.
Incidentally, how is it read in the audiobook?
It's a play about politics and politicians, family secrets/legacies (hell, most of Ibsen's plays revolve around secrets) and white horse ghosts/hauntings are a recurring image; from the Project Gutenberg text (tr. R. Farquarson Sharp):
>Rebecca (folding up her work). They cling to their dead a long time at Rosmersholm.
>
>Mrs. Helseth. If you ask me, miss, I should say it is the dead that cling to Rosmersholm a long time.
>
>Rebecca (looking at her). The dead?
>
>Mrs. Helseth. Yes, one might almost say that they don't seem to be able to tear themselves away from those they have left behind.
>
>Rebecca. What puts that idea into your head?
>
>Mrs. Helseth. Well, otherwise I know the White Horses would not be seen here.
But "getting" chapter quotes isn't something you have to do as a reader. If it works for you, great. If it doesn't, just move on. For me, most of the opening chapter quotes work, because I have a small amount of Latin, a nodding acquaintance with Catullus's poems in translation; I once took a course on Elizabethan/Jacobean revenge plays (to better understand Shakespeare in context); and I had an unhealthy love of George Bernard Shaw that made me plow through a ton of Ibsen because he loved it so.
Blue Öyster Cult lyrics, otoh, I do not get. This does not bother me. :D There's nothing wrong with taking quotes at face value and not getting the echoes behind them. And if you are curious about a quote, then maybe go read the source. It's how Dorothy Sayers got me to read a ton of Ernest Bramah. [grin]. OMFG, is that "garden of bright images" quote appropriate for Strong Poison, if you know where it's from.
The Lethal White DVD will be released on November 23rd on Amazon UK. Costs about $22 including shipping to the US. You will need a region-free DVD player to watch it.

Always end up making a big batch whenever I read one. It's kind of a PITA to make the cha-siu from scratch, though. The recipe I use is in this cookbook, but woksoflife's recipe is pretty good, too, and gives you more step-by-step. :)
