Detective mysteries are my favorite, and the understated British characters (Not 007) and subtle humor are often the best. 'An Accidental Death' delivers the goods.

Have been a fan of Midsomer Murders, after viewing 2 seasons in UK. Each episode introduces new and fascinating characters, and the recurring ones become old friends very quickly. The villages where the stories are filmed are a wonderful added attraction to the mysteries- it's like taking a tour of British countryside. Each time I replay an episode I enjoy it more and more. Combining 4 series into one collection was an excellent idea and a cost effective means of enjoying great mysteries. Expect to purchase more collections in the future.

I am slow to collect these, but I'm working on it. Midsomer Murders is an excellent British Crime Drama. The British know how to do crime dramas and they do it well. This set in the series is no exceptional. All episodes in this set are worthy to watch. I like the way each episode has a bit of humor in it.
Overall, I love this series and I recommend it to anyone who enjoys British TV, crime dramas and such.

I just finished viewing the last of series 5 and I want MORE of them.  These mysteries are addictive, well written, characters are real, and the characters are interwoven from the past episodes to the future stories. PLEASE MORE MURDOCH MYSTERIES

Three full novels all in one purchase. I read other reviews and thought this was worth reading and wasn't disappointed. After the first two I took a little break and read a different book, but immediately came back to the third. This was my least favorite, hence the 4 stars. I am looking forward to the next book as I do enjoy the characters. All in all, if you like a British mystery, you will enjoy this series.

I read Mrs Jeffries & Learns the Trade, which contains the first 3 books in this delightful Oh-So-British cozy and spent 2 months collecting & reading the entire series. I highly recommend this series. I reccomend reading the books in order to follow the relationships of the characters as the series grows, but that's just my preference. The books are outstanding whatever order you choose to read them in. Brightwell is "spot on" when it comes to describing so many different aspects of the Victorian era. The mysteries are complicated enough that you won't easily figure out who-dun-it!

I love this series so much, and coming back to it is always enjoyable.  I do kind of wish that the books connected to each other a little bit better - there's so many mysteries that I want to uncover, even here.

I'm addicted to this series. I have read all the books more than once and I a strongly recommend them to anyone who likes romantic murder-mystery books and great characters.

I love Jonty and Orlando. They had me at "That is my chair, sir" back in&nbsp;<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/Lessons-in-Love-A-Cambridge-Fellows-Mysteries-Book-1/dp/B002L6M298/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">Lessons in Love: A Cambridge Fellows Mysteries, Book 1</a>&nbsp;so of course I wanted to read what happened next. Their budding relationship matures in "Lesson in Desire" as they (and we) get to know each other deeper and understand why they are the way they are, not only in the romantic side but in life in general. What is great about this series is that Jonty and Orlando evolve and change with every book. The beautiful part is that they change for the better thanks to their relationship, their love making them stronger and their intellects complementing each other perfectly. For them really the sum is greater than the parts.

The mystery part of the story was quite good too. Entertaining and with a dose of humor. I couldn't guess who was the murderer which is good. Or maybe I was too distracted with two handsome Cambridge professors to notice anyone else.

Keyword of the book: Honey buzzards ;o)

How much do I love this series? Emma Jameson has nailed the genre in tone, classic mystery, and laugh out loud humor. It has been a joy to watch the cast of characters evolve as they solve the latest grisly murder, all while dealing with personal dramas that can sometimes interfere with the task at hand. Very entertaining.  I think this is the best one yet, and I highly recommend the entirety of the series if you haven't had the pleasure.

I am thoroughly enjoying this series. The setting of WWWII and the challenges people faced during that time are revealed a little as this detective investigates homicides. The character development progresses slowly and gradually. I have been drawn to them and appreciate their British ways.  Nice to watch a who dun it mystery without the twisted sick details of stories told about current day.

I love these mysteries!  The writing is excellent and the mystery is intriguing.  I didn't figure it out until the end which I loved.  The characters are strong and interesting.  Post WWI is such an interesting period in Britain and thinking about the PTSD those soldiers had is amazing.

This was the second Kate Daniels/Mari Hannah mysteries that I've read. Although I could do without some of the sex and profanity (and there's LOTS of the latter) I've found this series to be a plot-twisting read. This one was no exception. Ms. Hannah's writing style is terrific, her dialects down-pat and this one has all the plot-twisting and great characterizations that I've grown so fond of in Ms. Hannah's tales.

I'm looking forward to reading more of her mysteries - they just can't get them across the pond fast enough for me. (I also have to say that I'm a huge Richard Booth/Cooper & Fry fan - if you've not tried one, I highly recommend those as well).

This series by James Runcie inspired the "Grantchester" TV mystery series. The books are delightful to read, good mysteries, and some profound ideas gently worked into the narrative. (The main character, Sidney Chambers, is a vicar in the Church of England.) I've been buying up the entire series, book by book. I recommend them highly to mystery lovers who are bored with the escalating mayhem in the mystery/thriller genres, and wants to read something to think about.

A terrific British mystery that I couldn't put down.  DI Charlie Moon is called to the scene of a horrific murder, the case ends up with him and his team looking for a serial killer, as 4 past unsolved murders have the exact MO.
Alison Quigley, a secretarial temp, has been sent to work for an extremely obnoxious new boss. To add to her woes, she also has a stalker.
We go back to the 80's in several chapters, in which a young boy is bullied relentlessly.
The 3 threads come together beautifully, delivering a book that reminded me why I fell in love with British whodunnits years ago.
Great read!
