I have been a fan of the show Midsomer Murders for years, and loved the episode from this book especially since it invokes writers and that’s my wheelhouse. Anyway, this was my first Inspector Barnaby mystery, and though the characters were somewhat different than the show, I still found it an enjoyable read. I especially loved getting some closure on a few characters who didn’t quite get that in the episode. Fun times! I may try and read another!

I'm a fan of the "Midsomer Murders" TV series so when I happened upon a book at a sale I bought it. The episode based on this book was very faithful to the plot, which is good, but probably made the book a little less enjoyable, because it's a memorable plot (also good) and I remembered almost from the start "whodunnit" and why. That said, the book is a bit darker and more snarky that the show, and was definitely a clever and enjoyable procedural.
