View More Midsomer Murders... Midsomer Murders, Set 13
Homicide, blackmail, greed, and betrayal: just a taste of what goes on behind the well-trimmed hedges of Midsomer County. Inspired by the novels of Caroline Graham, "the best detective writer since Agatha Christie" (Sunday Times, UK), this British series is deliciously sinister and darkly humorous.

"Caroline Graham is the best detective writer since Agatha Christie"—London Sunday Times
"There are few better ways to unwind after making a killing at the office than by watching English people murder each other. This long-running British mystery series, inspired by the novels of Caroline Graham, is, like many a mystery from across the pond, set in a small English village. The feature-length mysteries in this new set have not aired in the U.S., and appear here on DVD for the first time. The mysteries are well-plotted, and the movies feature excellent British character actors, evocative settings and, luckily for the squeamish, not too much violence." -Smartmoney.com
