Miss Marple, Father Brown, Hercule Poirot, and so many others.

They just have to be present to precipitate a string of murders.

They only had to stay away for all to be well. ;-)

But, they always have lovely houses and gardens so it might be worth the risk :-)

Did you know that the creator of Sherlock Holmes, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle
was a physician and he gave Holmes the physician's skills of observation
sound, smell touch etcetera making the ficticious Detective so skillful.

I was reading an article on Midsomer a few years ago. They pick the prettiest of places, but with the filming, they can be on one side of the road in Bucks, but when they cross over, they could be filming in Herts! :-D :-D

Father Brown's Kembleford must be a much more scary place than Midsomer county, as it is only a small Cotswold Village.

In Agatha Christie's story Murder on the Orient Express half a dozen took turns

sticking a knife into the same victim. Was the first stabbing the murderer or were

they equally guilty ?
