Perfect for you if...

You enjoy traditional British mysteries with clever plotting and a cast of quirky suspects who feel genuinely real.
You like crime fiction that doesn't take itself too seriously and finds dark humour in small-town pretension.
You've watched Midsomer Murders and want to revisit the stories in their original form, or you're new to Barnaby and looking for the source material.

Maybe not for you if...

You prefer fast-paced thrillers with high body counts and relentless tension rather than methodical detective work.
You want contemporary settings and modern technology in your crime fiction, not village life in rural England.
You're looking for graphic violence or explicit content; this is cosy in sensibility despite its murders.

About this book

A murder occurs onstage during a performance by the Causton Amateur Dramatic Society in a small English village. The killing happens in full view of the audience, and Inspector Barnaby, who is present at the show, takes on the case. The members of the amateur theater group are known for their dramatic tendencies. Barnaby, though not a theater critic, is well-suited to investigate the crime. As the second Inspector Barnaby mystery, the novel draws on author Caroline Graham's background as a former actress, portraying the community theater members and small-town personalities involved in the case. This book was adapted as the second episode of season one of the ITV crime drama Midsomer Murders.
