Murdoch Mysteries: Season 4, Episode 4

4 - 4: Downstairs, Upstairs

It appears that Murdoch has entered into a conventional drawing room mystery after the master of a wealthy household is found face down in his breakfast. The characters are all in place: the murdered Percival, his aggrieved wife, and two very different sons. But whereas most drawing room mysteries revolve around the affairs of the upper class, Murdoch learns that the heart of this mystery lies in the servant’s hall below the stairs, where there’s a mix of unsettled emotions and grudges to bear.
