This is a really good read. Nicely developed characters and side-stories. Much, much better than "Murder at Madingley Grange" which was rather disappointing.

Well-liked Dennis Brinkley is killed by a malfunctioning replica of a trebuchet, a medieval catapult war machine. His death is declared an accident. His good friend Benny is convinced he was murdered, and pesters Inspector Barnaby to investigate. After all, Dennis was not only an expert on these machines, but also extremely particular about them. Barnaby dismisses her concerns at first, but changes his mind after a medium is murdered just before she was to reveal the name of Dennis' murderer. Suspects begin to emerge slowly during the course of the book.

Great read!

This is a Chief Inspector Barnaby mystery. It takes place in a peaceful English village haunted by secrets and murder.

I enjoyed the book very much.
