Plot Synopsis

THE BROKENWOOD MYSTERIES is a series of feature-length, standalone mysteries that follows DI Mike Shepherd, who arrives to the seemingly peaceful town of Brokenwood with a classic car, a country music collection, and an indeterminate number of ex-wives. His assistant, DC Kristin Sims, is a by-the-book investigator 15 years younger than her boss's car. Shepherd soon discovers that Brokenwood is full of secrets and suspicions.

In the season opener, "From the Cradle to the Grave," in need of funds for the Brokenwood Museum, curator Daphne Richards decides to sell its prized Egyptian mummy to a private collector, retired archaeologist Gordon Godley. The museum's groundskeeper, Johnny Oades, offers to transport the mummy, along with his relatives Rhys and Frodo. But when they stop en route for a peek at their cargo, they are horribly shocked by what's inside the sarcophagus.

Season 9 of THE BROKENWOOD MYSTERIES debuted on Monday, April 10, 2023 on Acorn TV. A new episode dropped each Monday through May 15. This quirky New Zealand mystery follows DI Mike Shepard, who arrives to the seemingly peaceful town of Brokenwood with classic car, a country music collection and an indeterminate number of ex-wives.

In the season opener, "Brokenwood: The Musical," a musical theater performance reenacting Brokenwood's history goes horrifically awry when the composer is electrocuted on stage. But was it murder or just an unfortunate accident?
