Crime investigations in a picture postcard location are at the heart of this appealing series as a highflying city solicitor returns to live and work in the small town she escaped as a teenager. Jane Kennedys role as coroner for this beautiful seaside region is to seek justice for the dead. She finds herself working alongside old flame Davey now the local detective sergeant to investigate the sudden or unexplained deaths of residents and tourists alike. The Coroner features a new and intriguing case in each episode, starting with the discovery of a body. Running alongside each mystery is the warm-hearted ebb and flow of Janes relationships with colleagues, family and the local community.
