Description

The Killings at Badger's Drift is the first spectacular instalment in the Midsomer Murders series and the story that inspired the ITV hit drama, now featuring an exclusive foreword by John Nettles, who played best-loved TV detective and star of Midsomer Murders, DCI Tom Barnaby.

The village of Badger's Drift is the essence of tranquillity. But when resident and well-loved spinster Miss Simpson takes a stroll in the nearby woods, she stumbles across something she was never meant to see, and there's only one way to keep her quiet.

Miss Simpson's death is not suspicious, say the villagers. But Miss Lucy Bellringer refuses to rest: her friend has been murdered. She is sure of it.

She calls on Detective Chief Inspector Barnaby to investigate, and it isn't long until the previously unseen seamy side of Badger's Drift is brought to light. But as old rivalries, past loves and new scandals surface, the next murder is not far away.

Excellent reading of the book.

Having watched the TV version, I was doubly pleased that the reader managed to bring the written characters to life in a way that also brought the actors to mind. great story well told.

Very entertaining

The author used excellent descriptions so the reader could easily imagine they were in the story, solving the murder(s) right along with Detective Chief Inspector Burnaby and his sidekick Sergeant Troy.
Reading this story while listening with Audible, made the characters come to life, pulling them right off the page into the readers own lives. Spell binding!

I loved this book and it’s narration!

If you haven’t listened to this version of the first book you should. The intro by John Nettles is fantastic. I really enjoyed his perspective on the differences between his character and the one in the book. Troy is very different, but the contrast between him and Tom create a level of friction that works well in a novel. The narration by John Hopkins is spot on. He actually sounds a lot like John Nettles.

Should also add the deep respect and love Tom has for Joyce is so well written, especially when his character talks about everything she does to keep the family and household running when he’s at work. That it makes his view of her culinary skills even more hilarious than the show ever did.

I hope we get more than two books narrated by John Hopkins in this series. I’m already on to book two.
