In the villages of Midsomer there are strange murders to solve, new clues to examine and scores of suspects to suspect as D.C.I. John Barnaby and his new sidekick, DS Charlie Nelson investigate. A ghost-hunting party goes spookily wrong when an antique sword proves it is in full working order; in Midsomer St. Clare someone is using ancient torture methods to punish modern-day 'sinners'; and heated relationships lead to a brutal and untimely death for the landlord of Wyvern House.
It's just another week in the county of Midsomer.
