Watch Murdoch Mysteries "Houdini Whodunit"

The Houdini episode of Murdoch Mysteries, "Houdini Whodunit," is now available for $2.99 via Amazon's (new?) Video on Demand service. Amazon offers a 2 minute free preview that gives a nice look at Houdini played by Joe Dinicol.

Based on the award-winning novels by Maureen Jennings, Murdoch Mysteries features shrewd and forward-thinking Canadian detective, William Murdoch (Yannick Bisson), who battles crime in late 19th century Toronto "with a cunning mixture of intuitive deduction and forensic techniques."

This episode from the second season finds the young Houdini Bros. bringing their show to Toronto. While Houdini is giving one of his performances, the bank next door is robbed and the security guard murdered in the process. Could it possibly have been the world famous illusionist?

Now you can find out.
