Having seen Midsomer Murders sporadically over the years, I decided to finally make a concerted effort to watch the show in its entirety. I'm currently in the middle of season 6, with an odd episode of later seasons thrown in here or there for good measure. (My tv has Pluto tv, and they have a dedic...

It might come as a surprise that I had never heard of the writer Caroline Graham until my mom got me into watching a show called Midsomer Murders. (It's on Netflix if you're interested.) What does one have to do with the other? Well, the tv show is based off of a book series by Graham that begins wi...

I picked up the oldest, most tatty, smoke-infested copy from the library, but that didn't deter my enjoyment. Emily Simpson is a Proper Old Spinster who witnesses something shocking and embarrassed while walking through the woods in search of a certain flower. When Emily is found dead in her cottage...
There are lots of people out there who are big fans of Midsomer Murders, the long-running British television program based on this series. I'm not one of them. Not that there's anything wrong with it; it's just that I've never been attracted to murder-in-the-village television dramas. Had I been a M...
