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.
