Pull up a chair, pour yourself a cuppa, and keep your eyes peeled—because here, every scone comes with a side of intrigue. Biscuits, Tea & Alibis is my little corner of the internet dedicated to the irresistible world of British mystery television.
Why British mysteries? Because no one does it quite like the Brits. From foggy moors and sleepy villages (where murder rates are suspiciously high) to the bustling streets of London patrolled by detectives with sharp wits and sharper cheekbones, these shows blend charm and menace in a way that feels both timeless and endlessly bingeable.
Here you’ll find:
- Deep dives into classic series like Poirot, Miss Marple, and A Touch of Frost.
- Spotlights on modern gems such as Vera, McDonald & Dodds, and Broadchurch.
- Behind-the-kettle musings about tropes we love—eccentric sleuths, cryptic alibis, and of course, the inevitable village fête that ends in murder.
- Viewing guides to help you choose the perfect mystery for a rainy afternoon (biscuits optional but encouraged).
Think of this blog as your cozy armchair companion: part fan’s guide, part detective’s notebook, and entirely devoted to celebrating the quirks, thrills, and comforts of British crime drama.
So brew the tea, dunk the biscuits, and join me as we uncover clues, chase suspects, and solve the ultimate mystery: why we can’t stop watching.
