With December approaching Brokenwood is alive and well with Christmas spirit. That is until a gruesome sight confronts Mike and his team; Santa Claus with his throat slit. Or as Mike insists - 'not Santa, but a man dressed in a Santa suit.' The man is in fact the much-loved local Mayor Evan Whitestone, who dresses as Santa every year for the Christmas parade. But with local elections looming, attention turns to his four rivals for the mayoral office. Each of them has an axe to grind with Evan, or in this case - a cut throat razor.

About The Brokenwood Mysteries:

Despite relishing the leisurely ways and quaint charms of country life, Detective Senior Sergeant Mike Shepherd (Neill Rea) knows all is not well in the picturesque but murder-ridden town of Brokenwood.

Along with his methodical partner, Detective Kristin Sims (Fern Sutherland), and eager young DC Sam Breen (Nic Sampson), Shepherd must confront the violent impulses and roiling passions that can mar even the most serene locales.

In these four feature-length mysteries, the detectives face down poisonous spiders, a real-life "Clue" board game gone wrong, the death of a classic-car enthusiast and someone killing the Christmas spirit.
