#1 Inspector Barnaby British police procedural. The village of Badger's Drift certainly seems to have its share of folks with things to hide. When an 80-year-old former schoolteacher dies of apparently natural causes, her equally aged friend contacts the police and insists that foul play was involved. When DCI Barnaby and his Sgt. Troy investigate, they find she's right, and more bodies quickly follow. Is anyone in Badger's Drift what they seem to be? Excellent 'village mystery' and one I didn't get completely til the end, though I did pick up on parts of it. I really enjoyed this as I haven't enjoyed a book in awhile, and I'm pleased that I didn't put off starting this series any longer. Very satisfying!
