The Murdoch Mysteries DVD box set collection 1 is a 16 disc set including the first 4 series of the long-running mystery drama.

Combining the period appeal of Sherlock Holmes with the forensic fascination of CSI, this slick, stylish series has won fiercely loyal fans in the U. K. and Canada. In Victorian Toronto, handsome Detective Murdoch (Yannick Bisson, Sue Thomas: F. B. Eye) uses newfangled scientific techniques like finger marks to solve the city's most baffling murders. Helped by a pretty pathologist (Gemini-winner Hilhne Joy, Durham County). He tries to win over his sceptical boss (Thomas Craig, Where the Heart Is) to his radical methods. Clever plot twists, sly wit, and references to historical figures add to the fun.

SERIES 1: William Murdoch (Yannick Bisson) is a young detective who uses progressive new forensic techniques, such as fingerprinting and trace evidence to solve some of the city's most gruesome murders.

However, Murdoch elicits a number of detractors, his unconventional methods sit uncomfortably with the Police force's traditional ways, but in forensic scientist, the beautiful Julia Ogden (Helene Joy), Murdoch has a powerful ally and together they make a formidable team with an almost supernatural instinct in solving crimes.

SERIES 2: Murdoch has his first encounter with James Gillies as an arrogant student (207) before becoming a criminal mastermind. When Buffalo Bill Cody's Western Extravaganza pulls into town, murder follows closely behind.

SERIES 3: Murdoch investigates the suicides of heirs to a great manor house and family fortune, but evidence begins to mount that it might be murder.

SERIES 4: Murdoch untangles the twisted web connecting the servants and family and finds that each has a motive to kill. The disappearance of a visiting Parisian girl thrusts Murdoch into an odd partnership with French Detective Marcel Guillaume.
