A group of guests gather in a large country house, owned by the dying Lord Warbeck, who wants what is left of his family around him to celebrate what he assumes will be his last Christmas. The guests are a motley bunch, including Sir Julius Warbeck, Chancellor of the Exchequer, the wife of one of his underlings, the fascist son of the present Lord Warbeck, and the Chancellor's bodyguard. Also present is foreign historian Dr Bottwink, and the traditional faithful butler. When the first murder occurs, the house is cut off from the rest of the world by a heavy snowfall, and it is left to Sir Julius's bodyguard to initiate a preliminary investigation before contact can be made with the local police force.

A Village, A Murder, A Mystery. And a Keen-eyed Amateur Detective. In a quiet Dartmoor village, ex-corporate troubleshooter Dan Corrigan is a fish out of water. He's also an excellent amateur investigator. Dan never walks away from a mystery, so when a murder is committed, he knows what he must do. He's determined to solve the mystery, whatever the risks. The murderer must not go unpunished. Justice must be done. But first, Dan must untangle a web of deceit, because in this rural valley, the river runs deep, but the lies run deeper still. Join Dan in this British mystery today, because there's more to Dartmoor than meets the eye. The Devonshire Mysteries are cosy mysteries (or cozy mysteries for my friends across the pond). As with any cosy/cozy mystery, you'll find a crime (or two just to make things interesting) and there'll be clues, suspects, red herrings and a variety of puzzles for our intrepid investigators to solve. While there is an element of danger, and let's face it, crime is never pleasant, you won't find gratuitous violence or gore. Any profanity is infrequent, mild and presented in the context of the story. Sound good? Then escape to rural Devon, where the sun is shining on the rolling green fields, the birds are singing in the trees, and the wilds of Dartmoor are just a heartbeat away. The Devonshire Mysteries - your world of cosy mystery awaits.

A staple of television since the early years of the BBC, British crime drama first crossed the Atlantic on public broadcasting stations and specialty cable channels, and later through streaming services. Often engaging with domestic anxieties about the government's power (or lack thereof), and with larger issues of social justice like gender equality, racism, and homophobia, it has constantly evolved to reflect social and cultural changes while adapting U.S. and Nordic noir influences in a way that retains its characteristically British elements. This collection examines the continuing appeal of British crime drama from The Sweeney through Sherlock, Marcella, and Happy Valley. Individual essays focus on male melodrama, nostalgia, definitions of community, gender and LGBTQ representation, and neoliberalism. The persistence of the English murder, as each chapter of this collection reveals, points to the complexity of British crime drama's engagement with social, political, and cultural issues. It is precisely the mix of British stereotypes, coupled with a willingness to engage with broader global social and political issues, that makes British crime drama such a successful cultural export.
