Аннотация
Чисто английский сериал по чисто английским романам Каролины Грэм. От перемены мест слагаемых сумма английского детектива не меняется, и время не властно над истинными ценностями. Чопорные островитяне по-прежнему совершают самые изощрённые преступления, за ними с самым обстоятельным и почтительным видом следуют элегантные сыщики, а фоном для этих сдержанных страстей остаются зелёные лужайки и тенистые аллеи, сумрачные кабинеты и холодные спальни. Почти всё действие происходит в деревнях небольшого, образцово безмятежного графства Мидсамер. Иной раз на этом пасторальном фоне происходит такое, чего и в столицах не видывали. А службу, которая опасна и трудна, деревенские полицейские не выбирают.
