Detective Henry Murdoch is the main protagonist of the Murdoch Mysteries book series and the TV show with the same name. He is portrayed by Peter Outerbridge in the TV movies and by Yannick Bisson in the series.
== Overview ==
William Murdoch is a talented detective, one of the first to use advanced detective methods at that time, namely forensics. What is familiar to us was just in its infancy then (at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries): comparison of fingerprints, chemical blood tests, external surveillance. William manages to find clues and evidence where it would seem impossible to find them. But his promotion is delayed under the pretext of his religion - namely, belonging to the Roman Catholic Church. Simply put, he is a papist. Life did not spoil him. In adolescence, he was half orphaned and was forced, taking his sister, to flee from his alcoholic father to a relative who, perhaps, did not kick them out. But it didn't help much. The children were left to their own devices. That's why we grew up early. At the age of 16, my sister decided to go to a monastery. Since then, William has been left practically alone. He communicated with his sister only through letters. Then for a short time there came a white streak in his life, which ended as suddenly as it began. William's fiancée, Lisa, died of typhus. A few years later, his sister died in the monastery. Now the loneliness has become complete and all-encompassing. Although William is attracted to one or another beautiful (and smart) girl, they will never replace Lisa.
