Sun-soaked new ITV mystery drama A Taste for Murder has become available to stream now. Starring The Responder’s Warren Brown, the series<\/a> focuses on a “grieving detective” who heads to his in-laws in Capri following the death of his wife.<\/p>\n

A Taste for Murder sees Brown’s character DCI Joe Mottram head to Capri, welcomed with open arms by in-laws Chef Gennaro (Urbano Barberini) and Elena Da Vinale (Phyllis Logan), who run a seaside restaurant.<\/p>\n

“Police work is the last thing on Joe\u2019s mind but when a local man\u2019s body is found on a beach and Gennaro\u2019s nephew and sous-chef, Luca, is arrested for murder, Joe can\u2019t avoid getting involved in the investigation and soon finds himself clashing with local Inspector Lara Sarrancino played by Cristiana Dell\u2019Anna,” the synopsis adds.<\/p>\n

The two form a “grudging partnership” and solve “a variety of unusual crimes on the island”, while Joe also “learns to cook, and his exploration of Italian dishes provides insights and clues into the crimes he is investigating” and “ultimately help him to become a better cook, father and detective”.<\/p>\n

“As the investigations deepen, the idyllic veneer of the island cracks, exposing a web of deception that forces Joe to confront a truth he never saw coming \u2013 and which turns his world upside down.”<\/p>\n

The series has been created by Professor T’s Matt Baker, who has said it is framed as a family drama as well as a detective show.<\/p>\n

He added that it looks at “the difficulties of maintaining loving relationships when coping with trauma and grief, alongside a series of outlandish murders that are very much the product of the beautiful Mediterranean island on which the series is set”.<\/p>\n

A Taste for Murder is streaming now on ITVX.<\/p>\n
