Midsomer Murders Set 17 DVD Review


 If you are a fan of "Law & Order", you are going to love its British rural counterpart, "Midsomer Murders". In the county of Midsomer, things aren't always what they seem, and there is murder lurking behind many of the well trimmed hedges. The series, which was inspired by the novels by Caroline Graham, offers a selection of murder mysteries filled with intrigue and drama.

I received the Midsomer Murder Set 17 to review, and although I have never seen the show before this, I was able to follow along with no trouble. Each episode stands on its own and offers its own unique and suspenseful storyline. This particular box set includes four exciting episodes including:

The Dogleg Murders ---Members of the Swanky Golf Club keep turning up dead on the 13th hole.

The Black Book--A string of savage murders take place at a local art auction.

Secrets and Spies--A mysterious creature starts out killing sheep but soon moves onto larger prey...

The Glitch---A local scientist tries to stop an American millionaire's latest business venture with fatal results.

The series brings together an all star cast including John Nettles as the Detective Chief Inspector Tom Barnaby and Jason Hughes as his protege, Detective Sergeant Ben Jones. There are also many wonderful guest stars including Peter Davidson, Susannah Harker, Benjamin Whitrow, David Haig and more.

In addition to the full season of episodes, the DVD set also includes cast interviews as well as fascinating facts and productions notes. If you want to get the advantage of a full set of amazing  stories that will leave you on the edge of your seat, than this is the box set for you. You can order Midsomer Murders Set 17 for only $49.99 at Acorn Media.

Sounds like it would be good to watch. I've never seen the original version either.
