Do share your favourite invention in Murdoch Mysteries in the comments below. It doesn’t have to be by the artful detective himself, but even from others such as serial-inventor James Pendrick. Continue reading.

Last weekend was a big one for Murdoch Mysteries fans. Thousands attended Saturday and Sunday’s sold-out ticketed events at the show’s Toronto main stage, where everyone not only had access to some of the sets but the series’ stars as well.
