The series is being broadcast on BritBox, and stars <em>Endeavor<\/em>&#8216;s Roger Allam and <em>Father Brown<\/em>&#8216;s Nancy Carroll. They are terrific together &#8211; he&#8217;s a sort of investigating judge (Chief Magistrate) and she&#8217;s a police consultant. They are partners &#8211; both in solving crimes and in love. Keala Settle stars as a detective, and <em>Rumpole of the Bailey<\/em>&#8216;s Phyllida Erskine-Brown as Carroll&#8217;s very opinionated mom. All of them are terrific!<\/p>\n<p>This is another series with beautiful scenery. We get to enjoy &#8220;city architecture&#8221; and lovely countryside. I enjoyed both the plots and writing, and am already awaiting the second season.<\/p>\n<p>Some people may object to very-British actors with very-British accents playing very-French characters. That does not bother me at all. (<em><strong>Murder in Provence<\/strong><\/em> is, after all, a fictitious television mystery show, not a documentary!) Another thing that I can overlook is some of the language&#8230; The mystery plots unfold at a leisurely, enjoyable pace, with two over-fifty sleuths. As I said it&#8217;s a Cozy Mystery Series.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Murder in Provence<\/strong><\/em> is based on the <strong>Verlague and Bonnet Provencal Mystery Series<\/strong> by M.L. Longworth. The first book in that series is <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3VlU9Vr\"><em>Death at the Chateau Bremont<\/em><\/a>. I haven&#8217;t tried this series, but the shows sure do make me want to try it! The shows are a great introduction to Longworth&#8217;s series.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3GeptBh\">The TV series is available on Britbox<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>I recommend this Cozy Mystery television series.<\/p>\n<p>Also, if you\u2019re interested in taking a look at some other good mystery shows, make sure to\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.cozy-mystery.com\/cozy-mystery-tv-and-movies.html\"><strong>go to my Cozy Mystery TV and Movies page<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Murder in Provence is another terrific Cozy Mystery television series.
