• 2:15
  SPEAKER_00: BritBox, and Acorn TV, along with some book releases that I also have my eye on.
• 2:20
  SPEAKER_00: So I recently shared a carousel with six British TV premieres to watch this month.
• 2:24
  SPEAKER_00: So this episode gives me room to tell you more about the shows and then share
• 2:27
  SPEAKER_00: a few books and explain why some of these have made my own watch list
• 2:31
  SPEAKER_00: and my reading list.
• 2:33
  SPEAKER_00: So I've sorted everything into three categories.
• 2:36
  SPEAKER_00: So we have our Cozy Mystery category,
• 2:38
  SPEAKER_00: we have Period Drama Lover category, and then we have Not So Cozy.
• 2:42
  SPEAKER_00: So let's get into it.
• 2:44
  SPEAKER_00: So let's start with Cozy Mysteries.
• 2:46
  SPEAKER_00: I'm going to go ahead and rank the shows from third place up to my number one pick.
• 2:49
  SPEAKER_00: So at number three, Senora Volpe, season three.
• 2:53
  SPEAKER_00: Senora Volpe follows Sylvia Fox,
• 2:55
  SPEAKER_00: played by Amelia Fox,
• 2:57
  SPEAKER_00: who's a disillusioned British spy,
• 2:58
  SPEAKER_00: and she travels to So Sylvia solves the mystery and she's longing to reconnect
• 3:06
  SPEAKER_00: with her sister and she decides to start a new life in Umbria.
• 3:10
  SPEAKER_00: But she doesn't exactly leave the mystery behind.
• 3:12
  SPEAKER_00: She finds herself taking on new cases,
• 3:14
  SPEAKER_00: getting to know a handsome local cop and being tempted by her ex-husband
• 3:19
  SPEAKER_00: and former colleague to return to her old career.
• 3:22
  SPEAKER_00: This is a really popular Acorn TV series,
• 3:25
  SPEAKER_00: and each episode runs about 80 to about 90 minutes long.
• 3:29
  SPEAKER_00: You get a full mystery,
• 3:30
  SPEAKER_00: some really beautiful Italian scenery, and a lot of secrets along the way.
• 3:34
  SPEAKER_00: And if you love Mallorca Files, I really think Signora Volpe would be a really good one to try.
• 3:40
  SPEAKER_00: And so season three premiered on Acorn TV yesterday,
• 3:43
  SPEAKER_00: October 5th, and new episodes will come out weekly.
• 3:47
  SPEAKER_00: Number two, this is not a murder mystery.
• 3:50
  SPEAKER_00: So this one I'm really desperate to watch.
• 3:52
  SPEAKER_00: It takes us into this flamboyant, surrealist art world of the 1930s.
• 3:57
  SPEAKER_00: So we have world-renowned artists,
• 3:58
  SPEAKER_00: including a young Dolly and Magritte,
• 4:01
  SPEAKER_00: and they gather at a lavish mansion,
• 4:04
  SPEAKER_00: and then they find themselves trapped there with this mysterious serial killer who's
• 4:08
  SPEAKER_00: on the loose.
• 4:09
  SPEAKER_00: And I'm really curious to see how the surrealist art setting and then
• 4:13
  SPEAKER_00: the locked-in mansion and the murder mystery all come together.
• 4:16
  SPEAKER_00: And this stars Pierre Gervais, Stephen Tompkinson, and Donna Banya.
• 4:22
  SPEAKER_00: This Is Not a Murder Mystery begins on Acorn TV October 12th with new episodes weekly.
• 4:28
  SPEAKER_00: My number one pick is Ludwig season two.
• 4:31
  SPEAKER_00: Obviously, that's my top cozy mystery pick.
• 4:33
  SPEAKER_00: I enjoyed the first season.
• 4:34
  SPEAKER_00: I'm excited to see David Mitchell and Anna Maxwell Martin back together.
• 4:38
  SPEAKER_00: Their partnership is really one of the reasons I got so invested in the show in the first place.
• 4:43
  SPEAKER_00: So John is a puzzle setter.
• 4:44
  SPEAKER_00: He steps into the life of his missing identical twin, James, and James is a police detective.
• 4:49
  SPEAKER_00: And while trying to work out what happened to his brother,
• 4:51
  SPEAKER_00: John gets pulled into this A series of cases of his own.
• 4:57
  SPEAKER_00: And if you haven't watched the first season,
• 4:59
  SPEAKER_00: this is a really good time to catch up before season two arrives on BritBox.
• 5:03
  SPEAKER_00: It's coming on October 13th and new episodes will premiere weekly.
• 5:07
  SPEAKER_00: But if you're a BritBox premiere subscriber,
• 5:10
  SPEAKER_00: you may already have access through the early release that began October 1st,
• 5:13
  SPEAKER_00: which obviously is unfair,
• 5:15
  SPEAKER_00: but I will not be switching over to BritBox premiere unless I get it for free.
• 5:19
  SPEAKER_00: And now for the cozy mystery books.
• 5:21
  SPEAKER_00: So we have the Undercover Bookshop by Catherine Ray.
• 5:25
  SPEAKER_00: It comes out October 6th.
• 5:27
  SPEAKER_00: It's set in the Cotswolds in 1950.
• 5:30
  SPEAKER_00: Amateur sleuth Gemma Brown starts to suspect that the village's best baker,
• 5:34
  SPEAKER_00: Ursula, is a Soviet spy.
• 5:36
  SPEAKER_00: So that suspicion pulls Gemma into this dangerous game of cat and mouse and toward
• 5:41
  SPEAKER_00: the Undercover Bookshop, which could change the direction of her life.
• 5:45
  SPEAKER_00: So we have Cotswolds and Amateur Sleuth and a bookshop.
• 5:49
  SPEAKER_00: I feel like this was written for us British TV lovers, don't you?
• 5:53
  SPEAKER_00: Now on October 20th, there's Murder at the Christmas Market.
• 5:56
  SPEAKER_00: This is the fifth book in the Cranberry Creek Word Search Mystery series.
• 6:00
  SPEAKER_00: It's by Rosie A.
• 6:00
  SPEAKER_00: Point and Charles Timmerman.
• 6:03
  SPEAKER_00: So I love these word search mysteries.
• 6:04
  SPEAKER_00: I've been working my way through book one.
• 6:06
  SPEAKER_00: It's called Murder Among the Stacks.
• 6:08
  SPEAKER_00: This new one gives you this cozy Christmas market mystery to follow.
• 6:12
  SPEAKER_00: It has word search puzzles woven in so you can do a little solving along with the story.
• 6:18
  SPEAKER_00: I really like the idea of having a mystery and an activity in the same book,
• 6:21
  SPEAKER_00: especially when I want something relaxing to do or even when I'm in the middle of
• 6:25
  SPEAKER_00: a reading slump.
• 6:27
  SPEAKER_00: Then on October 27th,
• 6:29
  SPEAKER_00: we have Ellery Adams' The Liars Book Club,
• 6:32
  SPEAKER_00: and it brings us back to the Secret Book in Scone Society series.
• 6:36
  SPEAKER_00: Now, as clouds gather over the Great Smoky Mountains,
• 6:39
  SPEAKER_00: there's an absent groom,
• 6:40
  SPEAKER_00: a stolen historical document, and a book club that's coming apart at the seams.
• 6:45
  SPEAKER_00: And underneath all of that is the question, how far will one book lover go to keep a secret?
• 6:50
  SPEAKER_00: So this is one of my favorite Cozy Mystery series, especially the first two books.
• 6:54
  SPEAKER_00: I wasn't quite fond of book theory.
• 6:56
  SPEAKER_00: But I'm still excited to eventually return to this world and then see what happens next.
• 7:01
  SPEAKER_00: Also out on October 27th is A Classic Case of Murder by Daryl Wood Gerber.
• 7:06
  SPEAKER_00: That's the third book in the Literary Dining Mysteries series.
• 7:10
  SPEAKER_00: A literary-themed dinner centered on A Christmas Carol takes a dark turn when
• 7:14
  SPEAKER_00: a rare book expert is murdered.
• 7:16
  SPEAKER_00: Obviously, I love a mystery with a bookish setting and a Christmas Carol themed dinner.
• 7:21
  SPEAKER_00: This really sounds like bookish mystery having to me.
• 7:24
  SPEAKER_00: And it reminds me a lot of that episode of season, I think it was, was it season one?
• 7:30
  SPEAKER_00: I think it was season one of Mistletoe Murders.
• 7:34
  SPEAKER_00: And there's like this mystery around a Christmas Carol.
• 7:37
  SPEAKER_00: So yeah, I definitely want to put this on my TBR.
• 7:41
  SPEAKER_00: For the period drama fans, the big TV pick this month is the literary adaptation War and Peace.
• 7:48
  SPEAKER_00: So this is the 2016 BBC adaptation that arrived on BritBox October 5th.
• 7:53
  SPEAKER_00: That was yesterday.
• 7:55
  SPEAKER_00: It has a sweeping story and a terrific I put out this post,
• 7:58
  SPEAKER_00: it was this carousel not too long ago, about For the Love of James Norton.
• 8:02
  SPEAKER_00: And it is like a list of TV shows he's been in,
• 8:14
  SPEAKER_00: on BritBox, Acorn, and PBS Masterpiece.
• 8:17
  SPEAKER_00: So go look at that if you can.
• 8:19
  SPEAKER_00: And Gillian Anderson is also in it.
• 8:21
  SPEAKER_00: I'm watching Gillian Anderson in Trespasses on PBS Masterpiece.
• 8:25
  SPEAKER_00: So please go watch that one too.
• 8:26
  SPEAKER_00: It's really good.
• 8:28
  SPEAKER_00: The story takes place For books, okay, we have musicals.
• 8:44
  SPEAKER_00: Music Against the Night by Eun Lee, and this comes out October 13th.
• 8:48
  SPEAKER_00: It follows musicians John Field and Adelaide Percheron across a changing world at
• 8:53
  SPEAKER_00: the turn of the 18th and 19th centuries.
• 8:56
  SPEAKER_00: The story moves through Dublin, Europe, Russia,
• 8:59
  SPEAKER_00: and French India,
• 9:00
  SPEAKER_00: exploring music, ambition, art, and the lives of two artists over time.
• 9:04
  SPEAKER_00: Now, y'all know I love a story that spans many years, so I'll certainly try to pick this one up.
• 9:09
  SPEAKER_00: On October 20th,
• 9:10
  SPEAKER_00: Philippa Gregory's Royal Witch,
• 9:12
  SPEAKER_00: part of the Plantagenet and Tudor novels, takes us to the court of Henry V in 1420.
• 9:18
  SPEAKER_00: Eleanor Cobham is surrounded by ambition and political power and accusations of sorcery.
• 9:24
  SPEAKER_00: If you like a history with court intrigue and a little danger,
• 9:28
  SPEAKER_00: this could be a good one to add to your list,
• 9:30
  SPEAKER_00: and I feel like it's perfect for a spooky season.
• 9:33
  SPEAKER_00: Also on October 20th,
• 9:34
  SPEAKER_00: Lisa Claypest's highly anticipated Queen of Lumbar Street gives us
• 9:39
  SPEAKER_00: a Victorian heroine working to build Britain's first women's bank.
• 9:42
  SPEAKER_00: I'm really interested in a period story that's focused on women's ambition
• 9:46
  SPEAKER_00: and financial independence.
• 9:48
  SPEAKER_00: So yeah, I'm definitely picking this one up and the story graph ratings are already high.
• 9:52
  SPEAKER_00: So this might be a must read for me.
• 9:55
  SPEAKER_00: Now it's time for the darker picks.
• 9:57
  SPEAKER_00: If your October mood leans more tense than comforting, there's plenty coming up.
• 10:01
  SPEAKER_00: So first we have May Gray Season 2 and it arrives on PBS Masterpiece on October 18th.
• 10:07
  SPEAKER_00: This new take on the classic detective stars Benjamin Wainwright
• 10:12
  SPEAKER_00: So I've watched a couple of episodes.
• 10:14
  SPEAKER_00: I just watched a couple of episodes of season one, and I'm really enjoying it.
• 10:18
  SPEAKER_00: I love the ensemble cast.
• 10:20
  SPEAKER_00: May Gray may be at the center of all of the mess and chaos and his own personal drama.
• 10:25
  SPEAKER_00: But he has a quick,
• 10:26
  SPEAKER_00: really quick thinking team around him,
• 10:28
  SPEAKER_00: and I like seeing them work together to solve these cases.
• 10:31
  SPEAKER_00: The mysteries so far are pretty good.
• 10:33
  SPEAKER_00: It is on the darker side,
• 10:35
  SPEAKER_00: a little bit more serious and moody than Cozy,
• 10:39
  SPEAKER_00: but I'm looking forward to seeing what the rest of the season will bring.
• 10:42
  SPEAKER_00: And then once I'm done with season one, I'll head over to season two.
• 10:46
  SPEAKER_00: Also on October 18th, The Gold Season 2 arrives on PBS Masterpiece.
• 10:51
  SPEAKER_00: So the story follows the investigation into the Brinks-Mat robbery and the hunt for
• 10:55
  SPEAKER_00: the remaining stolen gold,
• 10:57
  SPEAKER_00: along with the international money laundering operations that followed.
• 11:01
  SPEAKER_00: So that alone
• 11:09
  SPEAKER_00: might make some of y'all double take and think about watching this one.
• 11:12
  SPEAKER_00: I haven't watched season one yet,
• 11:14
  SPEAKER_00: so maybe somebody told me online recently that I have to watch it.
• 11:18
  SPEAKER_00: The Red King starts on Acorn TV October 19th with new episodes weekly.
• 11:23
  SPEAKER_00: It's a crime drama with folk horror elements starring Anjali Mahindra.
• 11:27
  SPEAKER_00: The synopsis says a detective digs into a case while trying to navigate
• 11:31
  SPEAKER_00: the complicated society around her.
• 11:33
  SPEAKER_00: So if you like your mysteries a little eerie,
• 11:35
  SPEAKER_00: a little unsettling, you know, this might be one to keep on your radar.
• 11:39
  SPEAKER_00: On October 22nd, Time Season 3 arrives on BritBox.
• 11:43
  SPEAKER_00: This prison drama stars David Tennant, one of our British TV kings, and Siobhan Finneran.
• 11:50
  SPEAKER_00: Now, it's definitely not a cozy watch.
• 11:52
  SPEAKER_00: It may be right for you if you're in the mood for something
• 11:54
  SPEAKER_00: a little bit more serious and intense.
• 11:56
  SPEAKER_00: It's definitely character-driven.
• 11:57
  SPEAKER_00: Now, Season 3 also brings a big change in the cast and the story.
• 12:02
  SPEAKER_00: So even if you've watched the earlier seasons,
• 12:05
  SPEAKER_00: there'll be new characters in a new situation to get to know.
• 12:08
  SPEAKER_00: Then Wolf arrives on Acorn TV October 26th.
• 12:12
  SPEAKER_00: All six episodes will be available to binge.
• 12:15
  SPEAKER_00: The series was originally released in 2023 and is based on the Jack Caffrey novels by Moe Hader.
• 12:21
  SPEAKER_00: And the synopsis says, This is definitely one for when you want a really tense thriller.
• 12:36
  SPEAKER_00: You don't mind having an evening that is darker, okay?
• 12:41
  SPEAKER_00: And I'm not gonna lie, the main lead in this, he's pretty handsome, okay?
• 12:46
  SPEAKER_00: That's icing on the cake.
• 12:48
  SPEAKER_00: I may watch this one.
• 12:50
  SPEAKER_00: For darker books,
• 12:51
  SPEAKER_00: The House Built on Alligator Bones by Sophia Honeycutt comes out today, October 6th.
• 12:57
  SPEAKER_00: It brings us into Florida Gothic territory with an alligator farming empire.
• 13:01
  SPEAKER_00: Yes, alligator farming.
• 13:03
  SPEAKER_00: A violent family legacy in a past that won't stay buried.
• 13:06
  SPEAKER_00: Now, this sounds very different for my typical October read, but it might be worth reading.
• 13:13
  SPEAKER_00: I don't know.
• 13:15
  SPEAKER_00: Now, The Mid-Morning Murders by Julian Clary is e-book and audio book release only
• 13:21
  SPEAKER_00: on October 8th.
• 13:22
  SPEAKER_00: I don't even know how I found this, but I Google and I've read the synopsis.
• 13:27
  SPEAKER_00: Let me tell you what it's about.
• 13:28
  SPEAKER_00: It follows a daytime TV researcher who's trying to revive a cold case segment,
• 13:32
  SPEAKER_00: but the people running the show may be willing to do just about anything to rescue
• 13:36
  SPEAKER_00: the ratings, and a new case could turn into murder.
• 13:39
  SPEAKER_00: So this is a crime with, obviously, a lot of comedy.
• 13:42
  SPEAKER_00: It's satirical.
• 13:44
  SPEAKER_00: Now, this one does toe the line between cozy and not so cozy,
• 13:49
  SPEAKER_00: but since it's a satirical crime novel, I think this may work.
• 13:54
  SPEAKER_00: It still may not be too heavy.
• 13:56
  SPEAKER_00: If you do listen to your audiobooks on Audible, it will be included with Premium Plus.
• 14:01
  SPEAKER_00: And on October 25th, The Turning of Sally Mae by Nuzo Ona.
• 14:07
  SPEAKER_00: And that brings historical horror and folklore and supernatural vengeance into the mix.
• 14:13
  SPEAKER_00: So this is an African Wild West horror story with two fearsome goddesses battling
• 14:18
  SPEAKER_00: over the souls of white twins.
• 14:20
  SPEAKER_00: Their fate could bring either vengeance.
• 14:21
  SPEAKER_00: Nuzzo is the winner of the Bram Stoker Award for Lifetime Achievement,
• 14:31
  SPEAKER_00: and this book really sounds like it's dark and supernatural and perfect for October.
• 14:37
  SPEAKER_00: And I wonder if anybody else,
• 14:38
  SPEAKER_00: when you hear that description,
• 14:39
  SPEAKER_00: thought about This movie that came out,
• 14:41
  SPEAKER_00: I haven't watched it yet, but I remember seeing the trailer.
• 14:43
  SPEAKER_00: I was like, I have to watch it.
• 14:45
  SPEAKER_00: I think it's on MGM Plus now, but it's called Is God Is.
• 14:48
  SPEAKER_00: Are they twins or are they just sisters?
• 14:51
  SPEAKER_00: I know Vivica A.
• 14:52
  SPEAKER_00: Fox is in it, Kara Young, Janelle Monae, Sterling K. Brown.
• 14:57
  SPEAKER_00: So as soon as I've read the book description, I was like, oh, I need to go watch that movie.
• 15:02
  SPEAKER_00: So yeah,
• 15:03
  SPEAKER_00: these books are going to be way more tense than the normal cozy
• 15:08
  SPEAKER_00: that we're usually seeking.
• 15:11
  SPEAKER_00: So now that I've gone through the whole list, let me tell you what I'm really excited about.
• 15:15
  SPEAKER_00: Obviously, Ludwig, like I said, I love the first season so much.
• 15:19
  SPEAKER_00: I will shout it from the rooftops.
• 15:21
  SPEAKER_00: Please, if you have not watched that and you love Cozy Mysteries, please go watch it, okay?
• 15:26
  SPEAKER_00: I'm also really, really fascinated with This Is Not A Murder Mystery that's coming to Acorn TV.
• 15:33
  SPEAKER_00: The trailer,
• 15:34
  SPEAKER_00: the visuals is so stunning and so pretty and the thought of them all meeting
• 15:38
  SPEAKER_00: in England in this like manner.
• 15:40
  SPEAKER_00: I don't know.
• 15:41
  SPEAKER_00: I'm thinking that this might be written for me as well.
• 15:44
  SPEAKER_00: I just hope it doesn't let me down.
• 15:47
  SPEAKER_00: And then, of course, we only get one period drama, really new, at least only one new one.
• 15:52
  SPEAKER_00: And that's War and Peace.
• 15:54
  SPEAKER_00: Now, I did not mention PBS Masterpiece has Walter Presents.
• 15:58
  SPEAKER_00: That's when they bring the international mysteries and crime dramas
• 16:03
  SPEAKER_00: and other period dramas to the platform.
• 16:06
  SPEAKER_00: I did not mention those,
• 16:07
  SPEAKER_00: but I know that for period dramas,
• 16:09

• 16:14
  SPEAKER_00: and Peace.
• 16:14
  SPEAKER_00: And this is the one I'm Really interested in seeing because I love James Norton,

  SPEAKER_00: but I also think Lily James is incredible as well.

• 16:39
  SPEAKER_00: And I mean,
