"Murder in a Small Town" sees an out-of-water big city cop land in a small community full of secrets and, you won't be surprised to learn, murders. It's a familiar trope but there is an edge to this procedural that sustains it. Below is our guide to how to watch "Murder in a Small Town" from anywhere with a VPN.

'Murder in a Small Town': release date, start time, TV channel, streaming info

Rossif Sutherland is Detective Karl Albert and Kristin Kreuk is Cassandra Mitchell, the librarian with commitment issues he met on the internet – and also the key to the town in which he now finds himself and the secrets and feuds that sustain it.

James Cromwell plays George Wilcox, a recently-widowed and retired History teacher, who is somehow connected to the victim and knows Cassandra from his frequent visits to the library. Stana Katic is Zoe, calm on the outside but possessed of a volcanic temper. But no more spoilers. 

Fast-track criminology grad Corporal Edwina Yen (Mya Lowe) brings the smarts while funny receptionist Isabella Harbud (Savonna Spracklin) and Constable Andy Kendrick (Fritzy-Klevans Destine) supply the charm to complement the edge.
