(More customer reviews)Malice Aforethought is one of those British mysteries that are set in a small rural village of yesteryear and populated with a cast of memorable characters. Dr. Edmund Bickleigh is a henpecked husband who denigrates his aspirations as an amateur artist. It's also why he is a chronic womanizer. Then into the village moves Madeleine Cranmere and he falls hard. The problem is that he must remove the obstacle of his domineering wife, end his affair with a local girl, and continue the veneer of respectability demanded of a man in his position. The costumes are period authentic, the sets are scrupulous detailed, the dialogue engaging, the acting first rate, and the plot twists are truly imaginative. Also available in a video cassette format and lead to an exciting and unpredicted conclusion, the DVD edition has a total running time of 2.5 hours and also includes access to the "Mystery! website, offers scene selection, and features closed captioning for the hearing impaired. Malice Aforethought is a mystery lover's delight and certain to be a popular addition to any community library video collection.

Falling in love with this doctor could be bad for your health...Between an endless round of garden parties and village gossip, the only way long-suffering Dr. Edmund Bickleigh can bear the torment of his formidable wife Julia's ferocious tongue is to find solace in the arms of sweet and besotted Ivy Ridgeway. But when he falls for the charms of Madeleine Cranmere, the exotic new resident of Wyvern's Cross, both Ivy's and Julia's fates are sealed as Madeleine won’t marry a divorced man. With no other recourse, Dr. Bickleigh decides that one will be dismissed, the other murdered. Arrogant with the success of a seemingly undetectable murder, Dr. Bickleigh rushes to be united with Madeleine only to find that he has been supplanted by a wealthier suitor. Gossip about his wife's death is rife and it seems to Dr Bickleigh that there is only one way to make the gossip stop. And that is to dispose of the gossipers…Ben Miller (Johnny English), Barbara Flynn (The Forsyte Saga) and Megan Dodds (Love in a Cold Climate) lead an ensemble cast in this classic tale of infatuation, revenge, and the scandalous business of murder.
