Written in Blood

by Caroline Graham

Overview

When a visiting author is suspected of murder, the case is hardly open and shut in this English village mystery novel by the author of Death in Disguise.
 
The Midsomer Worthy’s Writers’ Circle has never had much luck in attracting guest speakers. Consequently, there is much surprise when best-selling novelist Max Jennings accepts their invitation. But the members are even more surprised by their secretary, Gerald Hadleigh, who furiously objects to hosting Jennings—and offers no explanation.
 
Surprise turns into a variety of responses when Hadleigh is found dead the morning after Jennings’ visitation. Chief Inspector Barnaby soon determines that the key to solving the murder will lie with the illustrious Jennings. There’s only one problem: the famous author has disappeared.

Editorial Reviews

John Hopkins performs the fourth in the Midsomer Murders series with gusto, transporting listeners to 1990s rural England. He brings to life Chief Inspector Barnaby and his sidekick, Troy, as they seek to find the murderer of a retired civil servant whose violent death came after a seemingly harmless meeting of the local writers group. Hopkins’s talent for characterization is clear as he successfully gives distinct personalities to the key characters, smoothly moving from one to another in dialogue. In particular, fans of the TV show will hear delightful hints of actor John Nettles in Hopkins’s characterization of Barnaby. Hopkins’s skilled timing allows the humor in the writing to shine while building tension as the plot unfolds. K.J.P. Winner of AudioFile Earphones Award © AudioFile 2023, Portland, Maine
