Midsomer Murders (1997)

Episode Overview

The Inkpen family has reclaimed their historic estate, Inkpen Manor, situated in Midsomer Deverell, with plans to convert a village Memorial Garden on their property into a quaint tea shop. This decision sparks outrage among the villagers, particularly the Bennetts, who previously owned the manor and established the Memorial Garden. The situation escalates when young Fliss Inkpen-Thomas is discovered dead in the garden, her skull brutally crushed. Shortly after, her mother Elspeth succumbs to poisoning, with her loved ones rejecting any notion of suicide. Barnaby delves into the case, uncovering hidden motives for murder tied to an older, rival family.
