Based on novels by Maureen Jennings, "Murdoch Mysteries" follows young detective William Murdoch. In a series of stories taking place in Toronto during the 1890s and early 1900s, several challenging murder cases arise. Murdoch uses up-and-coming forensics techniques and an unconventional approach, which often elicit skepticism from his fellow officers and his boss. Coroner Julia Ogden becomes Murdoch's number one ally, and they make a top-notch team, but he must struggle against tradition and prejudice to solve some of the city's most-gruesome murders.

Murdoch risks his life in an attempt to defuse a bomb strapped to a factory owner.

Julia discovers a secret about her father upon his death; Brackenreid takes over a murder investigation.

While investigating the murder of a merchant, Murdoch believes it's connected to the assault on Inspector Brackenreid.

Murdoch and the constabulary try to capture Brackreid's attackers; Dr. Ogden and Dr. Grace go to court.
