Quotes
[Grady Felton had been convicted of murdering a boy many years ago; having now been released from prison he has returned to the village to arrange to sell his house where the murder took place]
Grady Felton: I had an estate agent round yesterday. And he agreed to take the sale on. Phone call this morning, and he'd changed his mind. I go into Causton, slog round all the rest of them, and nobody will touch it.
DCI John Barnaby: That's not a police matter.
Grady Felton: [snarls] I want that money! Now they have got no right to take it from me.
DCI John Barnaby: [sarcastically] You murdered a young man here, Mr Felton. Did you expect buyers to be tripping over each other?

excellent episode

I found this a particularly good episode, with lots of surprises along the way.

A teen named Grady Felton went to prison for killing Daniel Denning in 1994. Felton was from the wrong side of the tracks; the Dennings were landowners. Daniel apparently caught Grady poaching and Grady killed him.

Well, Grady is out of prison now and back in Binwell -- with a hit list, which includes Jones as well as the barristers who prosecuted him. And the people on the list start dying.

Then the pathologist discovers something interesting, and finally, Barnaby is able to solve the murders.

The script attempted, I think successfully, to humanize the new Barnaby more, as he prepares for a fitness test. Jones has a girlfriend who's a fireperson.

A lot was packed into this episode but it was a good story. I haven't watched Midsomer Murders in a while, but I'm back to it now. I'm looking forward to more like this.
