I love a good daft murder mystery and watch them all - Montalbano, Midsomer Murders, Poirot, Miss Marple, Death in Paradise, Miss Fisher, Agatha Raisin etc. I enjoy solving the murders before the detective so here are my tips:
The obvious suspect, who gets arrested first, didn't do it.
The 2nd and 3rd suspects didn't do it either and will probably be murdered as well.
There is usually a sub plot designed to lead you astray - ignore it.
The murder is always done by "someone who hasn't been in it much". They usually only appear in a couple of scenes and seem to be incidental to the plot. The exception to this rule was one Montalbano episode where the murderer wasn't in at all! He only appeared in the last two minutes prior to his arrest.
If you haven't seen it I recommend Brokenwood Mysteries - the New Zealand version of Midsomer with equally bizarre characters, plots and murders. A new series is currently being filmed.
