Midsomer (fictional county)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Midsomer is an English fictional county that appears in the British TV Series Midsomer Murders, which is adapted from Caroline Graham's series of novels of the same name.
The county town is Causton, a middle-sized town where the chief protagonist, Detective Chief Inspector Tom Barnaby, lives with his family. It is also where the Criminal Investigation Department is located. Many of the villages and small towns have the word Midsomer before their name (e.g. Midsomer Deverell, Midsomer Mallow).
As Midsomer Murders is predominantly filmed in the home counties, it is fairly likely that Midsomer is situated there, or in Southern England in general.
It is notable for its particularly high crime rate. The Midsomer Constabulary are inundated with the number of murder cases that come their way.
