Los misterios de Laura (English: The mysteries of Laura) is a Spanish television series that was broadcast in primetime on TVE's La 1 from 2009 to 2014. The show was first going to be named "Madres y detectives" (Mothers & Detectives). It premiered on July 27, 2009 with huge success, surpassing the rival of the night CSI: Crime Scene Investigation. The series mixes elements of shows like Murder, She Wrote, Columbo, and at the same time recovers elements of the mystery novels by Agatha Christie.
It tells the story of Laura Lebrel, a police detective with a disorganized personal and professional life, and a casual and pleasant personality, but with a great smell and intuition to solve intriguing cases.
The show has been adapted in Italy, Russia and the Netherlands. On May 8, 2014 American network NBC announced an American adaptation of the series, titled The Mysteries of Laura and starring Debra Messing.
