MIDSOMER MURDERS: Series 12

DVD Wholesale Quick Overview:

DCI Tom Barnaby (John Nettles) works his way through 7 more mysteries. Killers are never in short supply in Midsomer.

In The Dogleg Murders, a fancy golf club is the scene of the crime as the haves don’t want the have-nots on their fairway. A golf club proves a handy weapon.
In The Black Book the art world is excited at the prospect of more art by a dead artist. The problem is he didn’t paint them. And someone is willing to torture and kill over this secret.
Secrets and Spies has retired agents still trying to ferret out a double-crosser in their midst. Old grudges never go away.
The Glitch proves worth killing over but not for the reasons everyone expects.
Small Mercies features a model village with an oversized body in its square, pegged down like Gulliver. Dead as a door-nail. No one was sad to see him expire.
The Creeper is a cat burglar with an odd sense of humor and justice. But is the burglar also a murderer?
The Great and the Good deals with a school teacher with a penchant for walking in her sleep. When a body, then two, shows up on her property people begin to wonder if she’s doing more than just wandering in the night.

These seven murders are as inventive as ever with weaponry running the gamut from a corkscrew to a prehistoric skull with very long teeth. Always fun and fascinating, I love this series.-Einsatz

Excellent show. Very will written. Keeps you guessing until the end when the true culprit is revealed. My wife and I discovered Midsomer Murders on PBS a number of years ago and have been true fans of the show. Unfortunately, PBS is somewhat limited in the number of episodes that they show on the air. We were very happy to discover the we could watch ALL seasons and episodes with our Amazon subscription. We started watching at Season 1, Episode 1, and we are now in Season 13 and continuing forward. The series is well worth watching.-Fred Smith

I’ve been a Midsomer fan since they were first broadcast in the US; I’ve found the later seasons available only on video, however. The series in it’s 12th season is pretty much what it was in the beginning–a smart, down-to-earth Detective Chief Inspector in a delightful (and fictional) English village setting, solving the myriad murders that dispel the serenity of this idyllic place. Even though the series is set in modern times, viewers will surely get a feel of Agatha Christie’s Miss Marple (think Miss Marple with a cell-phone). The characters are engaging and likable; we get a continuing story arc of the leading character’s family–a delightful wife, a charming aspiring actress daughter–who often become involved in the cases at hand. It’s all very entertaining! So if you have enjoyed Inspector Lewis, Inspector Morse, Jane Marple, et al, Midsomer adds nicely to the genre.- K of CSpgs
