MIDSOMER MURDERS: Series 5

DVD Wholesale Quick Overview:

The episodes in Season 5 are:
Tainted Fruit – a spoilt rich brat named Melissa Townsend ends up dead, but given the victim’s nature, the list of suspects is long. Barnaby and Troy investigate and make some interesting discoveries.
Market for Murder – one of my favorites. Someone is picking off the members of a women’s only book club. Turns out, the book club was not about reading at all, but something else entirely.
A Worm in the Bud – Barnaby and Troy investigate the murder of a woman who was assumed to have killed herself.
Ring Out Your Dead – only in Midsomer Murders would you find an entertaining plot where bell ringers are targeted for murder.
Murder on St. Malley’s Day – when the son of a prominent alumni of Devington School is killed, Barnaby and Troy investigate, and discover that the death may be linked to The Pudding Club at the school, where membership is exclusive and highly coveted.

Five mysteries featuring DCI Tom Barnaby (John Nettles) and his faithful, albeit a bit dim, sidekick Sgt Troy (Daniel Casey). In this set, the first mystery is Tainted Fruit, where a nurse is framed for several murders that may, or may not, have anything to do with an old man’s death, due to a leaky roof. Number two is Market for Murder, where a book club is anything but a book club. Obsession is the order of the day and they didn’t get that out of a book. Number three is A Worm in the Bud. Bodies are not bodies until they are moved. Revenge isn’t sweet, it’s inspired. Mystery number four is Ring Out Your Dead. A longstanding grudge goes a bit too far. And lastly, Murder on St. Malley’s Day. The Devington School of snobs teaches their students more than just the classics. They even have their own hitman!
Through it all, Barnaby remains steadfast. And so does Sgt Troy, he still hasn’t learned to drive properly, and he only seems to stumble onto clues by accident. How he got to be a sergeant is anyone’s guess.
As ever, these mysteries are absorbing and fun to watch.-Einsatz
