DEt. tom tyler mysteries
Author Maureen Jennings has had tremendous success in co-creating highly successful and entertaining television content. First, she wrote the novels that the popular series The Murdoch Mysteries is based on. Then, she struck again co-creating the concept for the acclaimed series Bomb Girls. Now she's at it again with the Detective Inspector Tom Tyler Mysteries. In this series set during Word War Two, mystery meets espionage, a combination that guarantees an intriguing mix of high-stakes drama and thrilling tension.
Season one, Season of Darkness, opens with the death of a young and spirited Land Girl from the East End of London who has been working hard and enjoying the independence of country life. Detective Inspector Tom Tyler – troubled, brooding, handsome – diligently peels away the layers of deception that surround her murder and, in the process, reveals the secrets of young and broken soldiers suffering from PTSD, including his own son, and the intrigues of the nearby internment camp inhabited by German nationals living in England when the war broke out. Clare Devereau mysteriously re-appears in Tyler’s life, “doing her part” by serving as an interpreter at the camp.
Other seasons in the series are based on Jennings' books Beware This Boy, No Known Grave and Dead Ground in Between.
An international co-production with Apollo Media and BMD Entertainment.
