(5 Sterne; 1 Bewertungen)

Meet Bonnie Marsden, a forty-five-year-old mother of four who hires herself out as a housekeeper when she loses her job as a loans officer in a small Nova Scotia town. But Bonnie ends up doing much more than housework as mystery, mayhem and murder abound in her home town of Membertou County. Each week brings a startling new case that needs cleaning up: a child with Downs Syndrome is found frozen to death in the woods; Bonnie's son Robbie is accused of vandalism; and the local game warden is found dead in his own kitchen. So sit back, pour yourself a cup of coffee and enjoy the best of radio drama with eerie disappearances, unusual deaths, gripping plots, spinetingling suspense, and, of course, the smart sleuthing of Bonnie Marsden. The series stars Deborah Allen as Bonnie and a host of other characters, including Richard Donat as Bonnie's husband, Big Ben; Michael Pellerin as RCMP Cpl. Kowalchuk; and George Jordan as local radio announcer Bob Smiley. Music for the series is composed by Scott Macmillan and Dave Maclsaac.

One of CBC's Finest

(5 Sterne)

What can I say about this marvelous show? It's TRULY Canadian through and through from the voice acting to the regional quirks. If you are a maritimer or not, this show hits all the down-home buttons. You'l;l be addicted within the first episode or two and regretting there are no more when you reach the end of the series.
