Midsomer Murders

10 Disc set that brings to life all the ghastliness and arch humor of Caroline Graham's intriguing mystery series. Set 1 includes ten episodes: Death's Shadow, Strangler's Wood, Blood Will Out etc. Each is set in a different village in the quaint but surprisingly lethal Midsomer County, complete with sharp portraits of the love and loathing that small-town life can breed. John Nettles plays Detective Chief Inspector Barnaby with a wry wit, a satisfyingly keen-but-not-supernatural intelligence, and a deep understanding of human nature. Daniel Casey as the much younger Sergeant Troy has a somewhat tougher job, painting his younger policeman's character in shorter bits over the course of the series, but he becomes a most welcome face. The series is beautifully acted and produced and the solutions are satisfying--not a clinker in the bunch.
