A fan of the Midsommer Murders television series, I wanted to check out the books that inspired the series. I was very impressed. In this book, at least, the author is actually more focused on the various characters connected to the victim than she is to Inspector Barnaby. Barnaby shows up relatively late in the novel and then comes and goes while the characters involved go through all sorts of trials and tribulations, only to show up at the end to clear up all the messy details. It reminds me a bit of Father Brown, who goes unnoticed for most of those stories. The book is quite funny as well. It makes me want to continue reading the rest of the Barnaby novels.
