In the villages of Midsomer there are strange murders to solve, new clues to examine and scores of suspects to suspect as new father D.C.I. John Barnaby (Neil Dudgeon) and DS Charlie Nelson (Gwilym Lee) investigate a fresh collection of cases. A stolen manuscript and booby-trapped roulette wheel jeopardises a crime writers' festival; magic becomes murder when a trick goes horribly wrong; a famous ballad about Midsomer becomes an inspiration for homicide; and the fizz dies out at a sparkling wine launch when the glasses are laced with slug poison. Murder and deception are never far away as mayhem shatters the peaceful and picturesque villages of Midsomer in this three disc set.
