I have always been a great admirer of the television series Midsomer Murders and believed it would be worthwhile to read the books. This was one of my most beloved episodes, and I must say that the book is superior. I thoroughly enjoy the combination of peaceful countryside life and the gruesome, bloody murders. The characters are well-crafted and believable.

My favorite characters in both the book and the television series are the Rainbirds, particularly Iris Rainbird, who has extensive knowledge of everyone's affairs (typical nosey neighbor)

якраз учора говорили про те, що хороший детектив – це коли читач здогадується, хто вбивця, за дві сторінки до того, як ім'я вбивці оголосить автор. "убивства в беджерс дріфт" (якщо назва здається вам знайомою, то це не просто так; це перший роман із серії, за якою зняті "суто англійські вбивства") – таки хороший детектив. маленьке містечко, де майже всі можуть мати мотив, а проте складається враження, що ніхто не має можливості. кілька дуже добре виписаних хибних ліній, які зводять не тільки читача, а й детективів. симпатичні персонажі мають достатньо вад, щоб не бути цукерковими, а несимпатичні все ж достатньо людські, щоб викликати неоднозначні емоції. і так, певність щодо особи вбивці виникає добряче наприкінці, незважаючи навіть на маркери, розкидані по всьому тексту.
