Since the popular and long-running detective series first appeared on British TV in 1997, many villages throughout the Thames Valley have been cast as ‘Midsomer’. This photographic guide explores these picturesque hamlets, including Brill in the Vale of Aylesbury, Thame in Oxfordshire and Hambleden in Buckinghamshire, along with the region’s hills, woods, rivers, nature trails and heritage railways.

Full publisher description
Since it was first broadcast on British television in 1997, Midsomer Murders has become one of the most-beloved detective dramas on television, instantly recognisable for its attractive backdrop at the heart of rural England. The real towns and villages of 'Midsomer' are situated in the Chilterns, the Thames Valley and the Vale of Aylesbury, all areas of outstanding natural beauty, and this illustrated book reveals the many stunning key locations for this popular show. Over forty towns and villages have appeared in the long-running television series, ranging from the hill-top village of Brill (also famous for a real crime, the 'Great Train Robbery') to Waddesdon, home of a Rothschild's manor. Chris Behan, a resident of this area for over thirty years, has used his skill and intimate knowledge of the subject to create a book that is a must for fans of Midsomer Murders and all those who love this charming part of rural England.
