Lucien is actually encouraged to do more than just the forensic necessities and to involve himself in the mysteries.Īll in all, this is another beautiful Australian mystery series. This is rather refreshing because many TV mystery shows display an antipathy between the police and an amateur sleuth.

Of course, since Lucien inherits his father’s old Victorian house, a lot of the furniture dates way back. It’s very reminiscent of old 1950 television shows/movies. The late 1950s atmosphere is also very convincing. Cate Wolfe plays the young nurse, Rick Donald is the young constable who is then replaced by Charlie Cousins.
