Two plots that collide into one: in "The Creeper," someone is going into the homes of the wealthy during the night and robbing them. One of the people robbed is the Chief Constable. He assigns DCI Barnaby to the case.
After one particular burglary, a man is found dead -- David Roper, a ghostwriter who was visiting the Chettam family. Everyone had spent an evening at the home of Jack Filby, the now-owner of the Chettam estate, with the family having had a reversal of fortunes and living in another house on the estate.
Roper is a recovering alcoholic, but after a huge fight with Filby, he grabs a bottle of brandy and runs out of the house. A second murder, from the same group that attended the dinner, is murdered. The Creeper then breaks into the Barnaby home and leaves two clues.
What follows is the discovery of a family secret people are eager to cover up. Did The Creeper commit the second murder? Barnaby has to sort it all out.
This is a somewhat ordinary Midsomer Mystery, but it sports a good cast: Jenny Agutter, Amanda Ryan, and Barbara Jefford. I figure in 12 seasons they can't all be winners, and Nettles and Jane Wymark as Joyce Barnaby always are fun.
