Plot Summary

Called to the village of Midsomer Market to investigate someone's car being set on fire, Barnaby and Troy soon find themselves investigating the murder of Marjorie Empson who is found in her home bludgeoned to death. The focus of their attention is the Reading Club, a group of five women who meet regularly not to discuss books in fact, but to manage a investment fund they have established. Two of the members were hoping to cash out their investments, but were prevented from doing so by the others. There are several other suspects, all in one way or another connected to the financial and investment world, but when a second member of the book club is killed, the police realize they may need to look for an altogether different motive.

Goofs When Ginny Sharpe is killed in the swimming pool blood pours into the water. When her body is discovered there appears to be no blood in the pool. However, in the time between her death and the discovery, the blood would have dispersed so that it is no longer visible. This is not so the amount of blood coming from the wound was far to great for it do disperse completely. See more »

Quotes [last lines]
[DCI Barnaby has just discovered his pension fund is in trouble]
Sergeant Gavin Troy: Funny thing happened the other day, sir.
DCI Tom Barnaby: Go on, Troy, cheer me up.
Sergeant Gavin Troy: Lord Chetwood put me on to this chap. He's a collector, he collects comics.
DCI Tom Barnaby: Really.
Sergeant Gavin Troy: Anyway, he phoned up and asked me about 'The Hawk'; I've got 'em all, you see, from the first issue, and they're in *really* good condition. Anyway, this collector wants to buy them. And you'll never guess how much he's offered. It's amazing! Go on, sir, have a guess.
