Midsomer Murders, Set 11 presents four more gruesome yet impish mysteries from this ever-dependable series. DCI Tom Barnaby (John Nettles) is joined by his latest protege, DC Ben Jones (Jason Hughes) as they investigate roiling emotions and rash acts in rural England. In The House in the Woods, Nettles first meets Jones while delving into the case of a young house-hunting couple who are garroted in their car. A girl in a bee costume finds a drowned woman' body in Dead Letters, in which a long-dead beauty queen is linked to a series of present-day deaths. The past haunts the present in Vixen's Run, only it's sex and parentage that have been covered up--when a wealthy glutton dies of natural causes, nastiness soon spreads among his heirs, while a series of rhymed clues lead fortune-hunters on the trail of lost emeralds. And in Down Among the Dead Men, the shooting of an obsessive neat-freak reveals a web of blackmail that many involve a policeman that Barnaby deeply respects. The scripts are consistently engaging (Vixen's Run, with its treasure puzzle subplot, is particularly fun), the supporting casts are full of stalwart British thespians (Simon Callow, of Four Weddings and a Funeral, chews the scenery with relish as a lecherous doctor in Dead Letters), and there's always at least one sequence of genuine suspense or spookiness. Nettles--staunch, good-humored, and doggedly determined to catch the culprit--provides a calm axis for all the enjoyable mayhem and pettiness to wheel around. (Newcomers need not shy away, every 100-minute episode is self-contained.) --Bret Fetzer

 Time lag a concern. December 3, 2008
I have generally found this series well presented however I am losing faith with the length of time it is taking from air date to DVD release. With the new series now 3-4 years in front of the DVD release and the show destined for termination (apparently)I am going to wait until the whole series is released as a box set (which will be cheaper and probably quicker than waiting for this DVD series to be released!)
 Set 11 Midsomers Murders November 29, 2008

My father passed in 2006 and to divert my mother and myself, I purchased all of the sets of this series. We had seen it on television when it was on PBS but had not seen them all. It kept us going through a terrible time and when my mother unexpectedly passed ten months later, I pulled them again. I have them all. They not only entertain but they ensure with their beauty, solid plots and performances and general all around enjoyment level that the world is still going to go on. They have saved me and I recommend them to anyone who loves mystery, beauty and the feeling that tomorrow will be better because the Midsommer lands exist.

As with the previous 10 series, #11 was in the "outstanding," catogory. I sincerely hope that there will be subsequent releases, because I have no idea how long the series ran. As my Wife indicated, "Feel as if we reside in the actual locations." Great job of acting and directing.
