Hey folks! Do you love wildly eccentric characters? Quick wit and biting humor? Well, then do I have the show for you…  Mansfield Mysteries is a satirical, cozy murder whodunit, set in quiet, affluent Berkshire Bay, and featuring the inquisitive socialite Dorinda Mansfield. She slays with sass, class, and a martini glass. With the help of her devoted daughter, Stacey—as well as the occasional frenemy—Dorinda digs for clues, navigates Berkshire Bay's elite social circles, and sifts through years' worth of grudges and motives. Make no mistake about it, Mansfield Mysteries is a celebration of fierce women.  Season One is told over nine hilarious, fast paced episodes. Each three-chapter story finds Dorinda wrapped up in a new murder.
