Criminal thriller with suspense , intrigue , twists and turns . There are several set pieces that form the puzzles of the perfect crime mixing mystery with the everyday and personal misadventures of our protagonist , Inspector Lebrel , well played by Maria Pujalte . Indeed, if there were awards for simplicity , stubborness and obliviousness , Laura would probably be the most decorated detective on the police force .

In each episode, Laura has to solve a complex criminal case as well as take the kids to school and make dinner , all while trying not to miss an episode of her favorite soap opera . She investigates each week , but the complex cases are always much simpler than the parts that make up her personal life . Dealing with her relationship with fellow inspector Jacobo , ex-hubby, Fernando Gullen Cuervo , is somewhat difficult , as he is also her ex and the father of her children ; it does her detective work more and more hard to carry out . Laura Lebrel is a very special detective , who has to juggle the demands of being a homemaker , the separated mother of young twin boys and a police inspector . As a detective she does not rely so much on science or psychology , but more importantly on intuition and instinct , as well as a dogged determination to dismantle the perfect alibi . Although she always gets her guilty , man or woman , it is never without more than a few obstacles and bumps on the road . The series has echoes of Agatha Christie with her Poirot and Miss Marle , Angela Lansbury's Murder She Wrote , Angie Dickinson's Police Woman , and Peter Falk's Colombo , including an occasional frumpy raincoat as a tribute . And even had an American reboot : The Mysteries of Laura (38 episodes, 2014-2016) with Debra Messing as Laura , Josh Lucas , Laz Alonso , Max Jenkins , Marc Webster , among others .Los misterios de Laura (2009-2014) has got somes prices and nominations ,such as : ACE 2014 Winner Premio ACE TV - Best Actress María Pujalte ; Zapping Awards 2015 Nominee Zapping Award Best Actress María Pujalte , Zapping Awards 2012 , Nominee , Zapping Award Best TV Series .
