They didn’t have Acorn around then of course. Heck, when I
was a kid color TV wasn’t even around, but there were British mysteries in
books. I grew up on Sherlock, Agatha Christy, Periot, Miss Marple.
And now with Acorn there are these amazing mysteries I read
as a kid in movie and TV form and I can watch them over and over and I do on a regular
basis.

The Murdock Mysteries are amazing. The detective is also an
inventor and there are historical figures that pop up in the series from time
to time. We see Alexander Graham Bell, the Wright Brothers, Tesla...love Tesla,
Sir Arthur Conon Doyle, even a character who thinks he’s Sherlock Holmes. He’s
fantastic.
And then there’s Agatha Raisin, a contemporary mystery. Love
Agatha! Mysteries set in England and Australia and Canada are like mini vacation
to some place I’d love to visit and they are terrific mysteries.
I like the British mysteries better than American because
they rely more on mystery and fantastic character development and less on
special effects and sensationalism.
