To some of the more realistic members of the Midsomer Worthy's Writers' Circle, asking best-selling author Max Jennings to talk to them is outrageously ambitious. But, astonishingly, Jennings accepts the invitation and before the night is out a man is dead. Summoned to the village, Chief Inspector Barnaby finds that as witnesses to his final hours the members are of little help. But one thing they agree on is that on the night of his murder Gerald was a deeply troubled man.

"This is another good read in the CI Barnaby series. I like the fact that Barnaby sometimes seems stumped, but of course is able to solve the case in the end. His sergeant is an amusing foil. And I enjoy Barnaby's love of food and newly acquired talent in the kitchen." — Babette (4 out of 5 stars)

" Well-written, engrossing mystery. Kept me thinking all the way. "
" richly complex, "The fellow was shallow as cling film and nowhere near as useful" "
" These books are not an easy read. Several characters, not just the baddie, are irredeemably stupid or evil or both; even the good guys are ambiguous. Which is reality, yes, but not quite what I had in mind. "
" First Barnaby book. Brilliant, more depth than TV programmes, naturally, must read more. "
" Great characters as always. The ending is classic. "
" Another entertaining Barnaby book. If you like the tv show (like my inner middle-aged woman does), you'll like these books. "
" I love Graham's over the top characters, Brian was so pathetic, yet you never feel sympathetic towards him. His plight was like the comedic balance to the actual mystery, which was good - not great. Highly enjoyable. "
" Excellent and really enjoyable. I will have to get more of her books. "
" Chief Inspector Barnaby solves the murder of a village book group member with a mysteriour past. Excellent police procedural. I couldn't put it down. "
" OK. This series is not as long-lived with me as many.... I could stop, satisfied, after Death of a Hollow Man (especially since I'm so addicted to the tv show!) "
" Comparing to the Midsomer Murders series... Much wittier. "
