A Taste For Murder; Should I Marry a Murderer?

“All the elements of an engrossing ‘cosy crime’ drama have to be inviting and unchallenging. We want death without bloodshed, a picturesque backdrop, plenty of improbable twists in the plot, and strong friendships between the cast of supporting characters. Extra points for classic cars, jazz or opera, sunshine, vintage wine, open-air dining, detectives with extraordinary accents, and a hint of romance. A Taste For Murder delivers all the essentials and several of the garnishes.”

“It looks beautiful and Joe’s relationship with Lara will bubble away over the whole series with the same seductive intensity as one of Gennaro’s pasta dishes. The food porn is pretty inviting, to be fair, however clunky it is when the action stops and we are essentially given a recipe of the week. “Do we have bottarga?” Gennaro asks at one point. And when you’re actually more interested in the answer to that question than identifying the killer, it’s safe to say that this is a show in need of slightly better ingredients.”

“There are some truly amazing women in the world. The fact that this thought most often crosses my mind when I am watching a true crime documentary and hearing about the female victims of men’s crimes and learning how much suffering they endured while raising children, holding down jobs, keeping friends and parents happy and safe from knowledge that would upset or endanger them is so bleak that I’m going to put it away lest rage overwhelm me for good. Let us focus instead on another name to add to the list of extraordinary women, again brought to public attention by the terrible act of a man she knew. The three-part Netflix series Should I Marry a Murderer? tells the story of pathologist Caroline Muirhead who, at the age of 29, meets and falls in love with a Scottish farmer she meets on Tinder.”
