Midsomer Murders, Set 11 presents four more gruesome yet impish mysteries from this ever-dependable series. DCI Tom Barnaby (John Nettles) is joined by his latest protégé, DC Ben Jones (Jason Hughes) as they investigate roiling emotions and rash acts in rural England. In The House in the Woods, Nettles first meets Jones while delving into the case of a young house-hunting couple who are garroted in their car. A girl in a bee costume finds a drowned woman' body in Dead Letters, in which a long-dead beauty queen is linked to a series of present-day deaths. The past haunts the present in Vixen's Run, only it's sex and parentage that have been covered up--when a wealthy glutton dies of natural causes, nastiness soon spreads among his heirs, while a series of rhymed clues lead fortune-hunters on the trail of lost emeralds. And in Down Among the Dead Men, the shooting of an obsessive neat-freak reveals a web of blackmail that many involve a policeman that Barnaby deeply respects. The scripts are consistently engaging (Vixen's Run, with its treasure puzzle subplot, is particularly fun), the supporting casts are full of stalwart British thespians (Simon Callow, of Four Weddings and a Funeral, chews the scenery with relish as a lecherous doctor in Dead Letters), and there's always at least one sequence of genuine suspense or spookiness. Nettles--staunch, good-humored, and doggedly determined to catch the culprit--provides a calm axis for all the enjoyable mayhem and pettiness to wheel around. (Newcomers need not shy away, every 100-minute episode is self-contained.) --Bret Fetzer

Love this British Mystery series. November 19, 2008
Kirkuk K (Texas)
If you like British Mysteries..this may appeal to you, too. I have enjoyed this one from the beginning & am glad to see it continue. This series is set in modern times. The acting, directing & writing is great & I love the fact that a lot of it is set outdoors. Enjoy!
Love Midsomer Murders November 16, 2008
Sylvia Adamcik (Lubbock, Texas)
I LOVE Midsomer Muders. It is the best mystery series ever. I have every set up through Set 11. Can't wait for the next ones to come out. This series is still going strong in the UK and the US releases are at least 2 yrs behind the series. So, there should be plenty of releases yet to come. I recommend this series to ANY mystery lover.
Rates with top three tv mystery series ever made! November 15, 2008
Murphy L. Oufnac (South Louisiana)
Mysteries have been my television favorites since the days of Perry Mason! Seeing the British series through A & E and/or The Biography Channel has taught me that the English countryside and the dry British wit are perfectly suited to an outstanding mystery. John Nettles is one of the best actors ever. In watching the man work, he becomes DSI Barnaby. The series was superb in every way. The series was smart, intelligent, and authentic. It always had side stories of interest. The Barnaby family, Cully's growing thespian career, and Joyce's interest in the arts made us care about the characters, especially Tom Barnaby. It was never easy figuring "who did the dastardly deed," or if we were allowed to see who did it, it was pure fun seeing DSI Barnaby find his man (or woman). What a shame we don't get to see this particulary series any longer. Reruns would be better than nothing at all.
This series is so superb that it is difficult to give words to explain why it is so entertaining. It reminds me of the MI-5 series, but not quite so youth-and-technology-oriented. At least with our own sets of the shows, we can watch them over and enjoy them almost as much the second, or third, or fourth time. It gives one a great thrill to introduce the series to new mystery fans via the DVD's.
Deliciously Clever British Police Murder Mysteries November 14, 2008
Sallie R.
These are well-written, well-acted British police murder mysteries, all taking place in the small towns of Midsomer. The entire casts of each of the stories in the series plays their parts so well, one quickly forgets that these are actors and not actual residents. The plots are clever with enough twists to keep you guessing at every turn. The new releases can't arrive fast enough for me!
Great Series November 9, 2008
A. Murphy (Detroit, MI USA)
We have every series that have so far been released. We have even been tempted to buy from Amazon.co.uk, but we cannot play the uk dvd's on our machine. Love this series.
