\"\"<\/a>Mayday –\u00a0<\/strong>A small English village holds its annual Mayday festival and parade where a local teenage girl will be crowned as Mayday Queen.\u00a0 But as the parade begins and the Queen’s float appears down main street, it is empty.\u00a0 The Mayday Queen has disappeared mere moments before the parade is set to begin with only her abandoned bike found near the woods at the edge of town.\u00a0 The locals quickly organize to look for her throughout the area.\u00a0 As the search goes on it becomes clear that many in the village have a motive to do harm to the young girl.\u00a0 We meet a cast of characters, including ex-police officer, her detective husband, a real estate developer, a society wife and a man with mysterious access to heaps of cash.\u00a0 Many of the locals have their own dark secrets that they intend to keep at any cost.\u00a0 The series not only highlights the intricacies of the police\u00a0 investigation but how the villagers react to a suspect being one of their own.\u00a0 Mayday<\/strong> if full of red herrings, shocks and surprises and I highly recommend it for mystery fans.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Winter –\u00a0<\/strong>Australian detective Eve Winter is on a brief hiatus between cases when she is recruited to come back after the death of a young woman whose body was found at the bottom of a rocky cliff just north of Sydney.\u00a0 \u00a0Simultaneously, Eve learns of a young girl hospitalized after a hit and run accident.\u00a0 It becomes apparent to Eve that these two cases have everything to do with each other and if she can get the young girl to trust her and talk may be the key to cracking the case.\u00a0 Splitting her time between the murder investigation and gaining the young girl’s trust, Eve and her team discover that there are many powerful and influential residents who will cover the secrets in their past at any cost.\u00a0 Winter<\/strong> is another great mystery series with all the twists, turns and secrets of the past that make the story so memorable and suspenseful.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
