Before the hit television series Murdoch Mysteries, the same characters appeared in these feature-length adaptations of Maureen Jennings’s beloved novels. In gritty 1890s Toronto, Detective William Murdoch (Peter Outerbridge, Orphan Black) uses new forensic techniques to solve the murders of a young chambermaid, a colleague on the force, and a backstreet abortionist. With the help of beguiling coroner Dr. Julia Odgen (Keeley Hawes, Ashes to Ashes, Line of Duty), Murdoch sifts through the evidence, looking for even the smallest clue.
