The cosy mystery TV shows I watch, ranked

As I, ever faster, slip into the twilight years of my life whilst having just turned 30, my viewing habits become even more entrenched. Like most women my age I watch so many shows and documentaries about 'orrible murder that it may in fact be its own pathology. If anyone I know ever dies in mysterious circumstances I will immediately become a suspect just in light of my Netflix history.

It's not all relentlessly grim, though. Quite a few murder mystery shows are, in their way, very cheerful and homely. You know exactly the ones I mean because your mum watches them. I encourage you to give them a try though! Throw a blanky over your knees, cradle a mug of tea in both hands, keep a book of sudoku at yer elbow for boring bits, and join me with my favourite TV shows (in order of how much I enjoy them).
