"Rosemary & Thyme" - Series 3

I've been unable to locate the second season of the BBC British mystery series, "Rosemary & Thyme, " but was able to find the third and final series at our local library.  It contains 3 disks with 8 episodes and my spouse and I both particularly enjoyed all of these episodes -- We're sad to see the series go.  My spouse has often commented that the Midsommer Murder series usually has 3 murders in each episode and he noted that "Rosemary & Thyme" seem to have a couple of murders each episode but despite that, they are lighthearted and entertaining.  There was at least one that was not set in Britain and the gardens and landscapes in all of these episodes are very beautiful -- worth watching even if you're not a mystery fan.  Some of the locations include Kew Gardens, Regent's Park, the Andalusian village of Mijas, and a Surrey vineyard. 

The friendship between Rosemary Boxer and Laura Thyme has blossomed as the series has developed.  The business was started by Rosemary, a former university plant biologist, but it sometimes seemed in these episodes that it was Laura who was in charge.  She has brought her investigative skills as a former police officer to their duo but Rosemary has never been shabby with her own detection skills which is why I think they're so dynamic together.  If you enjoy lighthearted mysteries that also develop the characters and their personal lives in a little more depth, check out this series.  pazt
