Midsomer Murders

Caroline Graham’s Barnaby world becomes one of British television’s most durable murder landscapes.

The source-linked file

  1. 01Horowitz adapted Caroline Graham’s Chief Inspector Barnaby novels for television and is credited with the programme’s title.
  2. 02His official page lists five scripts from series one and two: The Killings at Badger’s Drift, Written in Blood, Death’s Shadow, Strangler’s Wood and Dead Man’s Eleven.
  3. 03The credit belongs to the early formation of the television series, not every later Midsomer episode.

A superfan’s reading

Badger’s Drift already contains the Horowitz rhythm fans know: an apparently settled community, a disruptive death and secrets arranged so each revelation changes the village map.
