As the episode opens Grady Felton returns to the Midsomer village of Binwell; he is not welcomed by the locals as he has spent time in prison for the murder of one of his friends back in the nineties. He had protested his innocence and while imprisoned wrote out a hit list of those he held responsible for his incarceration; the list includes Sgt. Jones who, as a young constable, was one of the arresting officers. The evening he gets back the first person on his list is killed; Jones is sure that Felton will be to blame but the evidence suggests he couldn't have done it. It looks even less likely that he is involved when his house is set on fire and he nearly dies. Before Barnaby and Jones can solve the case there will be more deaths and a few close calls. There is more going on this episode than just the case; Barnaby's wife is keen for him to join the local gym and have her trainer get him fit and Jones has got a girlfriend; a firefighter named Susie Bellingham.
This was another entertaining installment in the series containing everything that viewers have come to expect; plenty of murders, plenty of suspects and a reasonable number of laughs. It was nice to see Jones have some luck and get a girlfriend, Georgia Mackenzie did a good job in the role, it would be nice if she could become a recurring character. When we finally learn the details of the murder it came as quite a shock; I don't always guess the correct killer but it is rare that I don't even think of them as a suspect!
