I only catch an episode once on a while when it happens to be running on TV, but I’ve actually seen episodes in which the characters point at how absurd it is that so many murders happen all the time there.
It started in 1997 and has had almost 150 episodes since then. An average then of like 5-6 murders a year. The UK homicide rate is about 10/million, so for a county of half a million it wouldn’t be unreasonable. That kind of population is about right for a rural county.
That said, rate of murders in which the killer perfectly timed a firework, carried across the lake by their trained dog, to go off at the moment they were visibly on stage with an alibi, is a bit lower.
Midsomer Murders has been ongoing for soon 30 years, but there’s still people left to murder.

Isn’t it usually a different village each episode? I think Barnaby is responsible for the entire county
Still an unusually high number of villages for one county.
Midsomer county is bigger on the inside
Doctor Who crossover episode where they confront the evil alien force thriving on murders
Sounds Like a great Red Nose Day special
