If you are a fan of the Agatha Raisin television adaptations. Then this could be right up your street. Acorn TV has produced Queens of Mystery just as they now make Agatha Raisin.
The downside is that going by the opening episode, they share similar faults. The superficial quirkiness just becomes annoying. I find it a surprise that Acorn TV does dark drama such as London Kills better.
Mattie (Olivia Vinall) lost her mother as a child which does not necessarily mean she has died. Mattie was raised by her three aunts who are all crime writers. Beth (Sarah Woodward) Cat (Julie Graham) and Jane (Siobhan Redmond).
Now a policewoman, Mattie comes to the town of Wildemarsh when a Golden Pick Axe Award winning writer is found dead. The award he just won is buried on his head.
It is a good opportunity for her aunts to help out.
There is a never ending narration which is also irritating. Shakespeare and Hathaway does this kind of comic crime drama with a much better balance.
