Summary
To the distaste of the Compton Dando villagers, the big house has been taken over by a group of New Age eccentrics. And when the first death is reported, no one is surprised...or disappointed. The coroner rules it an accident.
But only weeks later, there’s another death. And this time, it is murder.
Detective Chief Inspector Barnaby is called to the scene immediately, and there’ll be no escape until he has sifted through the world of psychics, cult leaders and horrifying deaths to get to the cause of it all.
Critic reviews
"Simply the best detective writer since Agatha Christie." (The Sunday Times)
"Wickedly acid, yet sympathetic." (Publishers Weekly)
"Detective Chief Inspector Barnaby and his team are called out to a cultish New Age commune to determine the cause of a series of brutal murders in the third installment of Midsomer Murders, narrated exquisitely by John Hopkins. Hopkins brings his ample talent and experience to the task, giving voice to this large cast of quirky characters and building suspense with perfect pacing and inflection. Hopkins is familiar to Midsomer fans, both from narrating the first two books in the series and from his part as Sergeant Dan Scott on the television show. Although this is the third in the series, listeners can enjoy this audiobook as an excellent, complex mystery on its own as they become acquainted with the cult members and discover clues along with DCI Barnaby." (AudioFile Magazine)

Brilliant storytelling
Another clever mystery, wrapped up in glorious descriptive language and told with absolutely brilliant way, with some laugh out loud moments. Highly recommended.

Wonderful
Great listen, beautifully crafted characters. Really enjoyed this book, after a lifetime watching Barnaby on TV this book (and the others) really fleshed out the story to draw you in - loved this. The narration was excellent - perfect choice, can’t wait for the next one.

An interesting story, but not enough Barnaby
It takes a long time for the appearance of Barnaby and Troy, so in this story set near Corston they seem bit players. The setting is a commune and of course there are deaths, but a greater part for our Midsummer heroes would have been better as there are in the first two books.

My second book by this author.
I love her writing style, the humour, the characters and attention to detail. In some ways, I think I enjoyed the previous story, “A Ghost in the machine” , more, but this was also a very enjoyable listen, and I found myself really interested in the characters, even the less likeable ones. The narrator is absolutely spot on.

You can't beat a bit of Midsommer
unlike the TV programmes, it takes a while for the bodies to turn up, so by the time they do you know the cast of characters and I for one worry which one it will be who gets the chop. Having reeled you in the death(s) are all the more shocking when they do occur!

Loved it
Slow complicated start but stick with it. I love these books, I have already downloaded the next in the series and I am going to be so disappointed when I’ve listened to them all. Narration brilliant as always.

Better than the tv series!
I’ve watched a couple of the episodes of Midsummer Murders on tv and thought that the numerous murders were totally unbelievable. But I decided to give it a try and downloaded one of these audible episodes. Therefore I was surprised that it was very enjoyable. The characters Barnaby and Troy were so different from the tv characters that for a while I had to readjust my image of them. And as for Cully well she is altogether the complete opposite of her tv persona! But I enjoyed these books so much more, there was depth to the characters and they seemed more life like.
The narration was spot on and flowed smoothly and from one character to the next.
Enjoyed the first audible episode in the series now downloading the next 3!
