My Thoughts
If you are a fan of Law & Order, you're 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. Each episode stands on its own and offers its own unique and suspenseful story-line. The season reunites a great cast with lots of British humor and six wonderfully written mysteries. Here's a little about each one:
The Ghost of Causton Abby - A man is boiled to death at a brewery built on what was believed to be cursed.
Death of the Small Coppers - A butterfly collector is discovered pinned up like one of his specimens.
Drawing Dead - A supermodel at a comic festival.
The Lions of Causton - A death at a rugby club brings back a lot of memories for Barnaby.
'Til Death Do Us Part - A murder occurs at his friend's wedding, and Barnaby goes in search of a killer who has a thing for young brides.
Send in the Clowns - When the circus comes to down, a scary clown goes after the locals.
