The Brokenwood Mysteries

At a birthday picnic for Shepherd, the team witnesses a skydiver fall to his death. Even worse, the victim turns out to be Sims's ex-boyfriend. When it appears his parachute was tampered with, suspicion falls on the family members who jumped with him.

The owner of a Victorian historic village is shot in the head with an arrow. A stickler for rules and routine, the victim lived her life as if she were in 1861. When Shepherd is injured during the investigation, Sims takes over the case.

Shepherd and his team investigate the death of a farmer found tied up in his field like a scarecrow. Was his murder the result of a feud with neighbors, or something to do with his identical twin brother?

A wealthy man is found facedown in his pool, stabbed in the back with a samurai sword, with a threatening note left at the scene. A police dog leads Shepherd and Sims to Sunset Manor, a home for the elderly with dementia.
