According to the BBC, the series isn't based on (or inspired by) the book The Coronor by M.R.Hall. Now that we've got that out of the way...I grew to like the Coroner as it progressed to series 2, and then the rug got pulled out by someone in TV authority so adios to series 3:( Not happy at all.
Admittedly, the tone of The Coroner was a bit hard to pinpoint. Midsomer Murders? Doc Martin? with a dash of Murder, She Wrote and even Diagnosis Murder? Just add some tonic and you have a semi- quirky coroner living in a coastal town with its own dialect who look askance at urban Londoners if you know what I mean.
Anyway, The Coroner should have been renewed for season 3 and maybe it can be rebooted.
