Features all five seasons of the hit 1960s-set detective drama plus the latest Blake Mysteries – Ghost Stories. The wealth that built the Australian gold rush town of Ballarat may be long gone – but mysteries, crime and deceit remain, lingering beneath the surface of its faded glory. Doctor Lucien Blake left the town as a young man. Many years later, he finds himself returning to take over his dead father’s medical practice – and the on-call role of police surgeon. A maverick risk-taker who’s not afraid to upset the status quo, Blake will be called upon to solve all manner of strange and shocking crimes that the police cannot. Blake’s unconventional investigative methods will see loyalties and friendships tested to the limit as he faces murders, espionage and police politics, as well as demons from his own past. In Ghost Stories, Blake’s wife Jean throws herself back into a world she thought she’d left behind following her husband’s disappearance – becoming the town’s new solver of mysteries.
