Riding high for more than two decades, the new series of hit ITV crime drama Midsomer Murders got off to a shaky start after critics and viewers slammed it for being 'too far fetched'. The clamour grew so great that some thought it the beginning of the end for the popular show - but Mirror readers have leapt to its defence
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.
