Very good. Nice little twist at the end.

While walking in the woods, retired school teacher Emily Simpson sees something she was not meant to see. She is dead the same evening. Her good friend Lucy does not believe she died of natural causes and asks Inspector Barnaby to investigate. People are getting nervous and when the local neighborhood snoop (who does a little blackmailing on the side) is also killed, the situation comes to a head.
