Plot

Someone is killing off parish church bell ringers in the week before a big bell-ringing competition takes place in the village of Midsomer Wellow.

Murder is in the air in the village of Midsomer Wellow as Barnaby and Troy investigate the death of Greg Tutt, who was shot through the heart. He was a member of the local bell ringers and the village Lothario, whose fed-up wife had recently thrown him out. Greg had also been eyeing Emma who's engaged to Liam; these two are both members of the bell-ringing team. Reggie Barton leads a group of villagers who are opposed to the bell ringers using the church as a hobby, especially after their impromptu concert celebrating their big win at the track with their pooled funds. When a second bell ringer is killed, Barnaby tries to connect the recent deaths with church lore about a vicar who was killed and dumped down the well a century ago.—garykmcd

Bells will be ringing as DCI Barnaby and Sgt. Troy investigate murders in Midsomer Wellow. The otherwise quiet hamlet is a finalist in a prestigious church bell ringing contest. Can the Midsomer Wellow team win or will multiple murder cause the town to lose all ap-"peal"?—LA-Lawyer

The Midsomer bell-ringing competition is about to begin. The hosts of the competition, Midsomer Wellow, are in with a good chance of winning, largely thanks to the fierce competitiveness of their captain, Peter Fogden. However, someone is killing off members of his team.—grantss
