"Who would have thought that there was so much sin in a village of three hundred souls?"
The first riddle of Inspector Barnaby
For fans of Inspector Barnaby and All English Murders
Badger's Drift is a quiet English village with a vicar, a clumsy local doctor and a kind old teacher, Miss Simpson, who is found dead one morning. This sudden death does not give peace to her close friend Miss Bellringer, who stubbornly annoys the police with requests to open an investigation. And it is when Chief Inspector Barnaby takes the case that Badgers Drift reveals its true nature - long-forgotten murders, adulteries, jealousies, rivalries, espionage and blackmail emerge one after another. Will Barnaby be able to unravel the tangle of mysteries before the killer chooses his next victim?
The combination of brutal crimes, humor and idyllic nature brought fame to Inspector Barnaby not only in the detective pages of Caroline Graham, but also in the film adaptation of "Purely English Murders" starring John Nettles.
