So, who loves a great mystery?

Especially a great British mystery, yes you guessed it, not only are we lovers of “britcoms” but seldom is there not a British mystery waiting for us in the DVR. 

There are so many great ones to choose from, if you are looking for a little laughter sprinkled over your suspense then your best bets are: Father Brown, New Tricks, or Death in Paradise, and I almost forgot Pie in the Sky.  

In Father Brown, and New Tricks I find several of the characters to be very endearing. With Death in Paradise I find it almost fascinating to watch characters that are so very different bond so much that it is devastating to their core when one is surprisingly killed. 

There are also several “Inspectors” (Lewis, Morse, Linley, and George Gently) who unweave the baskets that hold the killers secrets.  

Agatha Christie is well known for her mysteries, one we are very fond of watching is Poirot.  David Sauchet is outstanding in his portrayal of the main character.

 

When watching Midsommer Murders, Inspector Barnaby there is thoughtful and humorous, yet seriousness to his character. You meet his wife and daughter, a nice touch to see different aspects of the characters life, personal and professional.

Also worth watching is Zen, to me this seemed a little more tense, sadly there was only one season.

Murdoch Mysteries is set in the 1890's and you will be drawn in by the characters.

If you haven’t discovered at least one of the shows, do look for them, we are fortunate to catch them on our local PBS stations.  Some are also be available on Amazon.
