Posted by

Based on L.R. Wright's Karl Alberg mystery novels, Murder in a Small Town was filmed in Gibsons, British Columbia, the same location where the story is set.

The show follows the story of Detective Karl Alberg, who relocates to a quiet coastal town to recover from the stress of big-city police work.

However, the seemingly peaceful town hides dark secrets, and Alberg (played by Rossif Sutherland, son of actor Donald Sutherland) soon finds himself investigating a series of murders.

Kristin Kreuk co-stars as Cassandra Mitchell, a local librarian who becomes both a romantic interest and a key figure in helping Alberg solve the town's mysteries.

Welcome to Gibson and our spoiler-free guide to all the filming locations of Murder in a Small Town. You'll find the locations in order of appearance.


The Murder in a Small Town Gibsons locations

Murder in a Small Town Gibsons
Most of the series takes place in Gibsons, a picturesque coastal town located on the Sunshine Coast, about 40 kilometers northwest of Vancouver.

Gibsons gained fame as the filming location for the long-running Canadian television series The Beachcombers (which aired from 1972 to 1990), and is still a popular destination for those looking to get away from the hustle and bustle of the city.
