Written In Blood by Caroline Graham

4.0

Written in the Blood by Caroline Graham is one of the books that the Midsomer Murders TV series is based on with the wonderful Inspector Barnaby as the sleuth. This was actually one of my favorite episodes of the TV show. A writers group’s invitation to a well known author to speak leads to murder and old secrets springing forth. The members of the writing group are an eclectic bunch from a woman writing her family history, to a college professor who does improvisational work and a kind of poetry, the professor’s wife with a children’s book about a dragon and others. There are many secrets that come to light before the murderer is finally exposed. A really well done English village mystery which includes a colorful cast of characters, a lovely setting, and an intelligent, admirable sleuth.
