Midsomer Murders: Murder of Innocence (2012)
Season 15, Episode 2
9/10
Tightly scripted, unpredictable ending, John Barnaby comes into his own, and same with Sergeant Jones
20 December 2015
Whenever I watch Midsomer, I can rule out the "obvious" suspects with a fair degree of certitude from the start, leaving the not-so- obvious ones to be revealed as the culprit(s) by one of the Barnaby cousins.

"Murder of Innocence" was an amazing exception as from the start any one of the aggrieved suspects could be the guilty ones, depending upon one's perspective and timeline. All credit to Elizabeth-Anne Wheal for her intriguing script which really kept the audience guessing up the final moment...and what a revelation as to the murderer's identity in more ways than one.

I appreciate John Nettle is missed as the original Barnaby, but I like how Neil Dudgeon is coming into his own as Barnaby Mark II, and good to see some back story on Sergeant Jones. It's wonderful to comprehend the full sentences of Barnaby Mark II, as I felt John Nettle's sentences came across as a bit incomplete at times.
