Who killed the nun?
27 October 2011
Warning: Spoilers
Shortly after a sixth-former and his girlfriend are caught having sex in the priory grounds by one of the nuns he returns with his friends and smashes the chapel's stained glass windows… not long after one of the nuns is found strangled; did he do that as well? Of course this being Midsomer plenty of other motives arise… if the already small community were to die out the valuable property would revert to the original family and the nuns themselves are in disagreement over whether to sell some valuable silver which happened to go missing at the time of the murder, of course the true motive might have nothing to do with the priory.

This is all standard fare for Midsomer Murders… which is why I enjoyed it so much! We have the usual character types; some good, some bad and mostly eccentric in their own way. With this type of series half the fun is trying to guess who did it and who will get bumped off next and this time I was very wide of the mark! The murders themselves were fairly run of the mill; no exotic weapons or gory remains; just manual strangulation. A good chemistry has grown up between Neil Dudgeon's Barnaby and Jason Hughes' Sergeant Jones… the final scene is priceless but I won't spoil it here!
