Product Description

Review

'Everyone gets what they deserve in this high-class mystery' Sunday Telegraph 'Wickedly acid, yet sympathetic' Publishers Weekly 'Excellent mystery, skilfully handled' Manchester Evening News 'Waspishly funny tale of murder...solved by the appealing Chief Inspector Barnaby and his splendidly thuggish Sergeant Troy' Weekend Telegraph Funny and outrageous, Caroline Graham spins a plot of greed, disguises and redemption' The Sunday Times


Product Description

When a death at the big house is announced to the village of Compton Dando, few people are surprised, as "The Golden Windhorse" is home to some new-age oddballs. When the coroner deems the death an accident, it is something of a disappointment. But then another death is reported.

5.0 out of 5 stars Two great murder mysteries, 15 Oct 2002
By Alex (England) - See all my reviews
Not only is one of these books a great read but you get two books for the price of one is that a deal or what and in each facinating story there are always lots of murders so it will take you longer to read it because you will have to go back and read it again to realize how Barnaby solves the murder and also you have to keep up with all the victims and characters.
The books are just like the series but in more detail.
Midsomer Murders is a truly brilliant read and i highly reccomend it for those who want to solve mysteries and it is always good to puzzle over it and find out who did it in the end.

4.0 out of 5 stars Unexpectedly Funny, 25 Aug 2008
By L. Murphy (Northern Ireland) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This was my first Midsomer Murder and even thought I had a fair idea who the villain was, I very much enjoyed it.

The beatnik/new age characters in the big house are nicely and not unsympathetically drawn for all their weirdness - Barnaby and Troy do not appear until page 135.

Barnaby is much the same as you get in the TV series, but Troy is a much more thuggish character, not too bright, racist, and given to making obscene advances to his female colleagues. They in turn deflate him with a few words instead of reporting him and getting him sacked. All jolly good fun.

Very witty writing with plenty of contrasting characters to keep the fun going. I find myself wondering what the author would do with a different cast and I intend to find out.

4.0 out of 5 stars An easy disguise to break, 22 April 2009
A very easy read. Not memorable but a good comfort read when the reader needs something light to take away life's stresses. Not being very into New Age this was not the best Midsomer Murder for me but it does have a quaint appeal and is easy to lose oneself in - a true test of relaxation in one's choice of reading. I certainly would not discount this. I do like to become involved in Barnaby's family life which he manages to sustain despite the demands of each case - a rare gift for anyone involved in the solving of crime. Most crime fiction novels have a stressed detective and either a long-suffering partner or a divorce. Barnarby cares for his profession and his family. Lovely.
