The Brokenwood Mysteries
Over 10 years and still killing it
In Series 12 of The Brokenwood Mysteries, Detectives Mike Shepherd, Kristin Sims and Daniel Chalmers continue to grapple with the small town’ s ever-growing murder rate.
With the help of their unique pathologist Dr Gina Kadinsky and the town’ s trusty locals, the team must employ unorthodox techniques to crack Brokenwood’ s most bizarre and chilling murder investigations to date.
From attempted alien abductions, a surfing priest with a dark history and a masquerade ball masking a death, to a historical railway leading to a dead bride, a killer ukulele and a stolen heart leaving blood on the hands of Ray and Trudy Neilson, this series’ murders once again capture the darkness, humour and eccentricity of New Zealand’ s most lethal town.
