Could Have Been One of the Best Midsomer Murders, 6 July 2008

Author: Carsten Pedersen from Esbjerg, Denmark

Four people disappears mysteriously with a meal still on the table and water boiling on the stove. The Bermuda Triangle in Midsomer. Add to this a forest haunted by ghosts of monks, a mansion with suits of armour and an iron maiden and you really have the potential for a great episode.

But then the filmmakers go ahead and spoil it all with a ghost hunter so theatrical he is hardly believable even as a phony and a fire and brimstone priest as his adversary. At one point Barnaby comments that he foresees big trouble between them, but apart from a minor skirmish we get nothing of that.

Luckily the solution is up to the usual Midsomer Murders' standard and saves the day. But average is disappointing when the stage was set for excellent.
