At the center of the MIDSOMER MURDERS is Detective Chief Inspector Tom Barnaby (John Nettles), who investigates killings with a professional, no-nonsense style, ably assisted by his chief deputy, Detective Sergeant Gavin Troy (Daniel Casey). The cases include the cricket-bat murder of a landowner’s wife, the bludgeoning of an unidentified tramp, a series of suspicious deaths in a nursing home, and the pitchfork slaying of a local man. Full of the best elements of the classic British murder mystery, season 3 of MIDSOMER MURDERS consists of fascinating, entertaining cases of intrigue and suspense.
The rural countryside of a fictional county in England provides the backdrop for season two of MIDSOMER MURDERS, a crime series based on the novels of Caroline Graham. A lush visual style, quirky characters (frequently wealthy eccentrics), and ubiquitous red herrings, recall classic public television British mysteries of the past. The two-part episodes include: "Death's Shadow," “Stranglers Wood," "Blood Will Out," "Beyond the Grave."
