This new show piqued my interest because it stars Kristin Kreuk and because it's adapted from a book series (by the late L.R. Wright). Rossif Sutherland plays former big city cop Karl Alberg, who moves to the seaside town of Gibsons hoping to de-stress. He becomes the police chief, but unlike Jesse Stone and others, he's not haunted or plagued by hindering hangups.
Refreshing, too, Kreuk doesn't play a cop in Alberg's charge with whom he begins a forbidden romance; she plays a librarian only connected to the culprits because everyone lives in Gibsons. Like COLUMBO, MURDER IN A SMALL TOWN reveals culprits early and spends the rest of its time fleshing them out as people. This is a slower-paced, character-driven show that almost seems out of place on broadcast TV today. I'm glad it's on, though, and I hope it stays.
The first episode guest-starred James Cromwell, and the fourth episode guest-starred Erica Durance.
