Ye Olde County of Midsomer has an alarmingly high murder rate, which DCI Barnaby struggled to keep up with. He solved 4 or 5 murders in one village - and within a week 6 more occurred in Causton-come--Placid. A policeman's lot is not a happy one..down that way.
But I understand Barnaby has retired ...and moved to the peace and quiet of Chicago.
It was wiped out series ago, as was Midsomer Parva, Midsomer Newton, Midsomer Magna and Midsomer under Wychwood. Rumour has it that they have now moved on to Midsomer-in-the -Marsh, but that's really wet.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
