If you enjoy mysteries set in England and Ireland, Acorn TV is a great place to find them. Two of my favorites are The Chelsea Detective and Harry Wild—both recently have had new seasons.
If you are looking for great mysteries set in other countries, Acorn TV is the place to find them. While most are set in the UK, there are also ones set in Australia, New Zealand, and Canada. A Remarkable Place to Die is a new show just recently up on Acorn and it is set in Queenstown, New Zealand.
It’s great to have an escape, especially in these difficult times, and one such delightful escape is subscribing to AcornTV. They provide an abundance of wonderful mystery programming, along with some comedy and drama as well.
Whitstable Pearl stars Kerry Godliman as Pearl Nolan who owns a restaurant she named Whitstable Pearl. Her mother, Dolly, helps out, and they have a young chef named Ruby. Pearl also has her own private investigation firm—she used to be with the police until she got pregnant and had her son Charlie who has gone away to Canada to spend some time with his father.

We don’t review a lot of non-fiction here at KRL, but when author Teresa Peschel reached out to me about her new book Agatha Christie, She Watched, it not only sounded like a lot of fun, but also something that KRL’s readers would be interested in, so here we are! I had the pleasure of also interviewing Teresa about the book and I don’t want to give too much away from the interview, so this will be a bit of a different review.
If you are looking for some great mysteries to enjoy watching, Acorn is one of the best places to go! And they not only have shows set in England, but other countries as well—such as the two shows we are reviewing this week Harry Wild (set in Ireland) and My Life is Murder (set in New Zealand). These two shows also star actresses who are well known in the United States as well--Jane Seymour and Lucy Lawless.
The third season of The Madame Blanc Mysteries just finished airing on AcornTV and this season was just as much fun as the previous two. Acorn TV is a perfect place to find a wide variety of mysteries.
On Friday, February 2 at 9 p.m. ET/8 p.m. CT, Alyssa Maxwell’s first Gilded Newport Mystery, Murder at the Breakers, will be premiering on the Hallmark Movies & Mystery Channel. The movie stars Ali Skovbye (Firefly Lane) as series sleuth Emma Cross and Danny Griffin (Get Even) as Police Detective Jesse Whyte. We had the chance recently to interview Alyssa about the movie. We are also reposting here our review of the latest book in the series, Murder at the Elms.
During the recent Hollywood writers and actors strikes new American television was harder to find, so I was more grateful than ever for streaming services like AcornTV and their wonderful selection of TV from the UK, Australia, and a handful of other countries—especially mystery TV. One such show is Harry Wild.
