This wickedly offbeat, contemporary murder-mystery series follows the adventures of a perennially single detective and her three crime-writing aunts as they solve murders in the picturesque English region of Wildemarsh.
EPISODE 1
Murder in the Dark: First Chapter
When a murder takes place at the local crime-writers' festival, DS Mattie Stone struggles to keep her well-meaning, amateur-sleuth aunts out of the investigation.
EPISODE 2
Murder in the Dark: Final Chapter
With another killing and Beth a suspect, Mattie races to solve the case and clear her aunt’s name. Was it Oscar’s publisher, who was skimming off the top? His literary agent, who was at risk of losing Oscar’s contract to a rival? Or a fellow author, whom Oscar had accused of plagiarizing?
EPISODE 3
Death by Vinyl, First Chapter
'80s new wave band Volcanic Youth is in town to record a new album, but Kat feels troubled about the reunion after her contentious breakup with the band years ago. The reunion is put on hold when one of the band members turns up murdered.
EPISODE 4
Death by Vinyl, Final Chapter
Mattie investigates a new victim: the band’s manager, who was stabbed in the back with a kitchen knife. While searching for clues, Mattie finds the recording the lead singer made right before she died, but an incident from the past may be the key to solving the case.
EPISODE 5
Smoke & Mirrors, First Chapter
The stage adaptation of Jane’s book endures numerous snafus before opening night: electrical problems, feuding cast members, and a notorious arts critic writing a potentially bad review. Meanwhile, Mattie searches for new clues in the case of her missing mother, but an onstage murder brings her to the theatre.
EPISODE 6
Smoke & Mirrors, Final Chapter
Contending with another murder and a missing lead actress, the theatre company is forced to switch up the cast, but their production is a mess. Despite Mattie's objections, Beth and Cat continue to pursue leads on their own.
