About this item

In the sleepy town of Brokenwood, New Zealand, the affable residents may seem harmless, but killers, blackmailers, and thieves lurk in every picturesque corner. To quell the communitys alarming murder rate, Detective Mike Shepherd (Neill Rea) uses an unconventional style that contrasts with the methodical approach of his partner, Detective Kristin Sims (Fern Sutherland) , and the eager assistance of DC Sam Breen (Nic Sampson) . In Series 6, Shepherd and his team face a deadly explosion at a steampunk festival, a bestselling crime author killed in the same manner as a murder in his book, the shooting of an animal rights activist protesting a duck hunt, and a suspicious suicide inside the local womens prison that pits them against convicts theyve put away in the past. Full of dry wit and twisty plotlines, these mysteries are "must-see TV ... [a] treat of a crime drama" (The British TV Place) .
