Anyone enjoy Brokenwood Mysteries?

I'm looking for something similar to Midsomer Murders. Dead bodies, don't know who the killer is until the end.

Anyone enjoy Brokenwood? TIA

Rotten Tomatoes

Fledgling detective Phryne Fisher is known for her sharp wit and pearl-handled pistol, which she uses to fight injustice in Melbourne during the 1920s. The glamorous sleuth makes her way through the city's alleyways and jazz clubs while she fights crime as part of a larger mission -- making sure that Murdoch Foyle, who she believes is responsible for the disappearance of her younger sister, stays behind bars. She fights for justice for people who can't help themselves, including exploited workers and missing girls.

Really good, with just enough humour and "local colour" to keep you entertained.

We are big Midsomer fans too
Acorn and Britbox are loaded with British/Australian/New Zealand murder mysteries.

Also recommend Murdoch Mysteries.

Her bone-dry Russian humor is to die for.

Her unrequited love for Mike is a little heartbreaking, though.
