Available in both DVD and Blu-ray formats, Midsomer Murders, series 21 is the latest collection of the internationally beloved, long-running British murder mystery series. This volume features four feature-length episodes, each a self-contained mystery. In "The Point of Balance" the arrival of the annual 'Paramount Dance Extravaganza' has a hidden darkness. In "The Miniature Murders", a real estate agent is killed before a crowd at the unveiling of a doll house collection. In "The Sting of Death", a powerful family controlling a lucrative beekeeping business will go to the most ruthless lengths to ensure their dominance. In "With Baited Breath", there is a clash in values between fishermen and women in search of a giant fish said to lurk in a remote village lake, and a rush of lycra-clad sporting enthusiasts eager to participate in the 'Psycho Mud Run'. Bonus materials include a behind-the-scenes featurette. Midsomer Murders, series 21 lives up to the quality of a top-notch, enduring favorite mystery series, and is highly recommended especially for connoisseurs of the genre. 2 CDs, 4 episodes, 371 min., SDH subtitles.
