When Melissa Townsend (played by Lucy Punch) receives death threats and is later found murdered, DCI Barnaby and Sgt Troy (played by John Nettles and Daniel Casey) are called in to investigate. They discover a complex web of lies, adultery and blackmail, which leads to two more murders before the detectives can apprehend the culprit...
Rather stately paced, but nonetheless an enjoyable and involving whodunit from the Midsomer Murders series distinguished by fine acting by a good cast, including Sarah Mair-Thomas, Claire Price, Ann Bell, Terence Harvey and Adrian Rawlins. It is solidly directed by Peter Smith and David Hoskins' script is well structured and plays fair with the audience leading to a satisfactory (if none too surprising) denouement. The production values are of the high standard we have come to expect from this show and the well chosen rural Home Counties locations add an atmosphere of the mysterious to the proceedings.
