The price people put on their secrets

[miles-33108 · 8/10 · 13 November 2016]

A woman apparently drowned is discovered to have been hit on the head first. Soon there is another victim, but there seems no immediate connection between them apart from their good education, and a taste for fine fountain pens. Murdoch also notices some engraved silver, with similar workmanship.

Dr Grace is recognised by members of an athletics club she belonged to in her younger days. It seems she was once a champion croquet player, and the members let her know that they are trying to find a player for the 1900 Paris Olympics.

Dr Ogden is annoyed that Darcy has acquired a house only a few blocks away from hers, though Murdoch is not as affronted about that as she is, which only seems to make matters worse.

There is a further woman victim found like the others, and she too has part of a silver charm, which when brought together with the other pieces is seen to make up the image of a guardian angel from the Zoroastrian religion. Murdoch consults a University lecturer who is a Zoroastrian, and learns there are no others known of in the Toronto area. The third victim was also well-educated, and it seems all the victims were connected by their membership of a Sorority Guild.

To solve the crimes, Murdoch must use all his ingenuity at finding links between the victims, and the are quite a few blind alleys to be explored before the plain truth is left.

This episode starts slowly but builds well to a climax, as well as a moment of pure joy for a certain Constable.

Women killed in some female cult

[ctyankee1 · 29 April 2015]

A group of women belong to a female cult that is secret and have secret rituals like the Mason but only for women. Four of the women are murdered. They are all hit in the head and died of drowning.

Later a man explains he has a "wife" who is Indian and 2 kids. He said someone found out they were not married and was going to expose them. He went though some spin talk "just because I was not married in church does not mean I'm not married." So much baloney, you don't have to be married in church to be married you can be married by the county. He was one of the uppity men that had a business.

There is a lot of confusion in the story and lots of suspects. There is a Persian professor who is in a cult something like Zoroaster he helps Murdoch define some of the pieces that were left with the women that died. They were metal pieces like a bird with wings and a tail.

Dr Grace meets up with a man and woman she knew back when and they act like they are better then her because they are rich. She later challenges a woman to a croquet game to get even with her.

Another boring & pointless episode

[interestingstuff · 14 October 2022]

The 6th season of Murdoch Mysteries proved to be super boring, pointless and full of filler episodes with the exception of 2-3 good episodes. This is one of those filler episodes that will bore you to death.

Not only the case is not interesting, but Murdoch doesn't really solve it. At the end he provides no evidence proving that his suspect killed those people, no real strong motive and doesn't tie it up in a satisfactory manner but the episode still pretends that he solved the case at the end since the murdered "magically" just confesses everything when confronted even in the absence of any evidence. How convenient.

You can easily tell that writers of the show ran out of ideas by now and they started rehashing and recycling material they've already used many times in the past and they come up with boring episodes like this that no one wants to see.
