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 protege, 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

Midsomer Murders - What a mystery series SHOULD be September 21, 2008
42 out of 45 found this review helpful

So many of our friends and family regret the decision of A & E and the Biography channels not to renew this classic British series. It is pure escapism and deliciously photographed in the wonderful English countryside. John Nettles is everyman's hard working police inspector - cynical, darkly humourous and wholly believable. The cast and characters are comprised of true eccentrics (as only the Brits can be) and one never knows what lies around the next corner in one of the charming Midsomer Counties villages. If anyone of the powers that be in the programing offices of any network are reading this, please reconsider returning Inspector Barnaby and his confreres to their rightful place on our side of the Pond. They are sorely missed!

MIS-leading October 6, 2008

I've just received "set 11" of the MIdSomer Murders series. Unfortunately, I believed it was "series 11" -- turns out it is only "series 9" which was filmed in 2005. Series 11 aired this past year.
I would think that you would match your SET Numbers with the Series Numbers. I've waited all this time to receive these DVD's only to find out that I've already seen them 3 years ago...

Love this series October 16, 2008

This is a great British crime/mystery series. The murders are always bizarre and are committed amidst a fantasy present day English countryside that we all wish we lived in. The plots are thick and get thicker and I am always pleased when I cannot guess the culprits, at least not too readily. This series used to run on the Biography Channel but for some reason, they have decided to deprive us.

This was our latest purchase completing the series. It is a consistently good series sparked with interesting actors, lovely countryside and murder most foul! Thoroughly delightful entertainment and well worth watching. Barbaby's new sidekick is rather an interesting addition though we enjoyed the dashing Scott and the adorable Troy!

Love Midsomer Murders November 16, 2008

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.
