The series is based on characters from the Detective Murdoch novels by Maureen Jennings (full list at bottom of gallery), the first three of which were adapted as separate television movies in 2004 and 2005. All eight books were re-published with TV tie-in covers by McClelland & Stewart in the US/Canada and by Titan Books in the UK. The UK books had a different picture on the front covers whilst the US/Canada books showed the same picture on the first seven covers.
