Jane Kennedy is the
coroner for the fictional small Devon coastal town of Lighthaven. She investigates sudden, violent and
suspicious deaths. She had been
living away from Lighthaven but a failed relationship has brought her back home. She is living in cramped quarters with
her 15-year-old daughter Beth, mother Judith and Mick Sturrock, Judith’s
boyfriend and employer. Jane works
closely with Detective Sergeant Davey Higgins and he’s also a former boyfriend
who is now married.
I thought this was an
interesting series and I liked the characters. At times I had a little trouble following the motive and the
identity of the murderer. The
countryside is very beautiful and the town reminds me of the filming location Port
Isaac, Cornwall, England, UK for Doc Martin. 3 ½* (I liked this series)
45
min each episode, 10 episodes, BBC day-time TV Series, created by Sally Abbott

Note: Imdb 6.8 out of 10, Amazon 3.9* out of
5* with 19 reviews, Shop BBC 5* with 11 reviews, Acorn TV 5* with 2 reviews.
Special
Note: Filmed in Dartmouth, Totnes,
Devon and Cargreen, Cornwall, England, UK. Mick owns The Black Dog Inn in Cargreen. The scenes for the Black Dog were
filmed in the derelict Crooked Spaniards Inn. Claire Goose and Matt Bardock worked together previously on
the series Casualty. The
production team also worked on Father Brown and they used the same formula for
this series. Katharine Hepburn and
Spencer Tracey in Adam’s Rib were the models for the characters. There is also a set of best-selling
books with the same title written by M R Hall. He stated that the enormous similarities were disconcerting
but the BBC said the series is not based on or inspired by the books?
