The continuing series starring Inspector Barnaby and his sidekick Troy. Not my favorite, too much setting up of the murder , but worth reading to move on to next book.

This really did not age well. I disliked Sgt. Troy and found the main storyline rather sensational and weird. It was a meandering sort of story and by the end I really didn‘t care whodunnit. The cat that Barnaby and his wife were cat-sitting was honestly the best part of the whole book for me.

This is my cozy fall read for September I loved the tv series and thought that I would check out the book series

This final in the Midsomer Murders series is the longest and the most slow burning, character developing novel. When a death occurs, it looks like a simple accident. And yet…

I‘m so glad I found this series on audio! #BBRC #YeahBaby #ADevilInTheDetails

This edition to the Midsomer Murders series starts off with a bang and does not stop. Barnaby and Troy are as snarky as ever. John Hopkins‘s narration is so engaging to me. I blew through this one and am anxiously awaiting the audio release on Audible next month.

I‘ve been enjoying the audio versions of the books that the Midsomer Murder mysteries are based on. There is a lot more detail in the books than can be crammed into an allotted tv series time. I‘ve seen most/maybe all of the shows, but as there were umpteen seasons, I‘ve mostly forgotten the plots and the “who dunnit”, so the endings are a surprise. These are fun and entertaining listens.

I finally got to leave the house and go for a walk. It was a very windy day out there; that‘s probably why the tree fell. That wind kept it from being hot though. I still have 5 more hours left in this book, and I can‘t figure out what exactly could take up 5 hours. #audiowalk

Midsomer Murders probably made a conscious decision to make Sergeant Troy more likeable in the show. I think this served them well; he‘s got a lot of unpleasant traits in the books. It‘s jarring since I had watched the show before I read the books, and Troy is one of my favorite characters. #audiowalk
