2 thriller-killers on 1 disc. Murder In Eden was an Irish mini-series starring the late Tony Doyle (Ballykissangel, Amongst Women). Here's a review I found:
As the title of this British miniseries indicates, Murder in Eden had very little to do with the Old Testament. The central character was an Irish pub owner, who, in a fit of anger, killed his barman. Though convinced that he had covered up his tracks, the pub owner found himself being blackmailed by a person who may or may not have witnessed the crime. Debuting July 19, 1991 on the BBC, Murder in Eden ran for three 50-minute episodes. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
Time For Murder was a 6 stand-alone episodes program. I found this description:
A rare, six-course feast for British mystery connoisseurs
In original screenplays specially commissioned for this series, Fay Weldon, Antonia Fraser, Gordon Honeycombe, Frances Galleymore (the novel Widow Maker), Michael Robson (The House of Eliott), and Charles Wood (Iris, Help!) deliver six devilishly clever tales. These are no ordinary stories of mystery and suspense. Each author gives the genre his or her own peculiar twist, with results ranging from the darkly humorous to the truly macabre. You’ll visit not only conventional English drawing rooms, but also a boy’s prep school, a luxury health spa, and a snowbound hotel—all settings for murder and other surprises.
These six complete dramas also feature some of Britain’s leading actors, including Claire Bloom, Sylvia Sims, Charles Dance, Amanda Root, Trevor Howard, Judy Campbell, Patrick Allen, and Jane Asher.
