Inspired by the bestselling novels of British suspense author Caroline Graham, the BBC mystery series Midsomer Murders initially debuted in 1997 and ran for many years thereafter. It unfolds in the deceptively serene-looking villages of Midsomer County, England, where Detective Chief Inspector Tom Barnaby (John Nettles) and his protégé, Dete ctive Sergeant Ben Jones (Jason Hughes) proceed to solve one sinister and haunting case after another. Though labeled Set 21, this box set actualy includes the first four episodes from Series 14, which originally aired between March 30-May 25, 2011: Death in the Slow Lane, Dark Secrets, Echoes of the Dead, and Oblong Murders.
