I think during the musical episode of Psych they refer to their town as the murder capital of the country.
That is the exact plot to The Village Library Demon-Hunting Society C.M. Waggoner
They even brought Bergerac back and there can’t have been more than several thousand people on Jersey to start with.
makes me think of that detective conan spinoff anime that acknowledges the bullshit amount of crime mostly in one town and people are horrified at the idea of getting off the train at that station
That’s now how it happens in a small town. Two long-time friends who have the habit of putting chairs in front of their house and pass the night chatting and observing the vicinity would have seen the guy who everyone already suspects to be a criminal walking in a strange way and would call the local gossiper, who tells them who the probable victim is, because there was a heavy discussion the last day between them, and then they alert the local police chief, who is their relative.
Miss Fisher got tired solving all these murders at home, so she goes on a beach vacation. Guess what happens? (It’s murder.)

Small Town Arson?
Its Longmire!
Is it just me that literally can’t read the image at all? When I click HD it gets worse
Looks fine on voyager over here
“Only Murders in the Building” is already testing the limits of the suspension of disbelief.
I suspect that was part of the idea. It’s a murder show taking place in NYC, but still limits the murders to a single building. It’s the extreme version of this quirk of the genre.
Major difference is it’s one(ish) murder per season, rather than one per episode.

Damn, even the network got murdered
Midsomer Murders has been ongoing for soon 30 years, but there’s still people left to murder.
It started in 1997 and has had almost 150 episodes since then. An average then of like 5-6 murders a year. The UK homicide rate is about 10/million, so for a county of half a million it wouldn’t be unreasonable. That kind of population is about right for a rural county.
That said, rate of murders in which the killer perfectly timed a firework, carried across the lake by their trained dog, to go off at the moment they were visibly on stage with an alibi, is a bit lower.
Isn’t it usually a different village each episode? I think Barnaby is responsible for the entire county
Still an unusually high number of villages for one county.
Midsomer county is bigger on the inside
Doctor Who crossover episode where they confront the evil alien force thriving on murders
Sounds Like a great Red Nose Day special
I only catch an episode once on a while when it happens to be running on TV, but I’ve actually seen episodes in which the characters point at how absurd it is that so many murders happen all the time there.
“How did you manage to figure out who the culprit was?”
“The method of elimination. Literally.”

One reason why I will always find something more productive to do when my wife wants to watch her detective stories. These shows are so incredibly boring. So, so, so boring.
Maybe your wife can only relax when you’re not around?
Lt.Colombo: Well, if you say so. Oh, one more thing, almost forgot: you have a very bad taste, sir.
It’s the same episode over and over, I swear 😂
