Meet Alexa Crowe, a happy single woman who takes early retirement from the Melbourne, Australia, police force so she can bake bread and enjoy life. Her dream of leisure might have come true if her former boss hadn’t persuaded her to do a little sleuthing on the side. How can Alexa resist the case of a woman who fell (or was pushed) from the 19th-floor digs of a male escort ... a gambling addict buried in an already occupied grave ... and a plastic surgeon who dies after self-administering an anti-wrinkle drug she developed. Armed with her mobile phone and laptop, Alexa is back on the beat whenever she feels like it. Lucy Lawless (Xena: Warrior Princess; Top of the Lake) stars this fun-filled murder mystery, crime comedy-drama series. Ten episodes, for mature viewers. 7 ½ hours on 3 discs. SDH
