Midsomer Murders
Midsomer Murders
Midsomer is an idyllic county in the south of England where peace and middle England prevails. Amazingly if you were to live in this fictional county, your days may be numbered because foul play and murder is never too far away. There are more murders in Midsomer than the Bronx and although the usual victims are respectable pillars of the community, the headcount is more like the fall out from a drug dealers turf war than a disagreement about local politics or the local vicar.
