He's been here for years as a professor. In the past I had told him I like British murder mysteries TV and books so much. So I said, "You know that the murder rate in the UK is really low?" He agreed. "Well in these mysteries the writers aren't content to kill one person but loads." He laughed and said, "That's true." I have only watched season 18 of 'Midsomer Murders" but they aren't shy about killing of half the people in a village. Loads of fun and the personal lives of the main characters is entertaining.

My wife found an old, I think made for TV movies, set called "The Snoop Sisters" with Helan Hayes and Mildred Natwick. Ms. Hayes is a a mystery writer and her sister transcribes while she vocalizes the scenes. They can't help themselves whenever there's a real mystery. It has a lot of humor. Oh an they have an antique Lincoln that is anything but unobtrusive.

The other that we got is 2nd season of Vera with Brenda Blethyn who is a DCI with a sharp tongue. It's very good as well. She ordered "The Brokenwood Mysteries" which take place in sleepy New Zealand.
