This episode made no sense whatsoever. First, we have a series of improbable murders committed by a man for an asinine reason. Second, we have a red herring -- the strange son of a donkey farm owner which goes absolutely nowhere. But worst of all, we have John Barnabay banging on about historical murders. He went on, and on, and on to the point that one is hoping Sgt. Jones will turn around, punch him in his ugly face and say, "Take this job and shove it!" But it gets worse. Once they figure out the identity of the killer, we are expected to believe that in this digital age of emails and mobile phones, John Barnaby finds a stack of "love letters" which confirms the killer's bride had dumped him and it was this that, apparently, drove him over the edge. Preopsterous!
