BROKENWOOD MYSTERIES: S.12

Detectives Mike Shepherd (Neill Rea), Kristin Sims (Fern Sutherland) and Daniel Chalmers (Jarod Rawiri) continue to grapple with the small town’s ever-growing murder rate. From attempted alien abductions, to a surfing priest with a dark history, a masquerade ball masking a death, a historical railway leading to a dead bride, a killer ukulele and a stolen family heirloom leaving blood on the hands of Ray and Trudy Neilson, this season’s murders once again capture the darkness, humor and eccentricity of New Zealand’s most lethal town.
