8/10

More than just cosy village murders.

Pearl Nolan runs a restaurant and a Detective Agency, her investigations often cross with those of Detective Inspector Mike McGuire, a straight talking, grief stricken cop.

This show is the reason I pay my Acorn subscription, one of the best shows on the platform. It will definitely appeal to fans of shows like Mallorca Files, Father Brown and Midsomer Murders, it's light, but definitely intriguing and suspenseful.

It must have done wonders for the tourism in Whitstable, it looks incredible in parts, very picturesque.

The cases are always intriguing, but the characters just offer a little bit more than most shows, they're so well realised.

Kerry Godliman and Howard Charles are both terrific, and their relationship becomes one of the show's most interesting elements, they really play off one another very well.

The supporting cast are very good, especially Frances Barber, Dolly is wonderful, shades of Patsy Stone.

8/10.
