Yes, the holidays are around the corner.
'Midsomer Murders' are bringing us a pop up collectible that opens up with DCI Barnaby and his dog. The story we have is the 'Christmas Haunting' which came out in the sixteenth season. It also happens to be DS Charlie Nelson (
Gwilym Lee) first case with DCI Barnaby (
Neil Dudgeon). The pair are called in to investigate the murder of Conor Bridgeman who was at one of those ghost hunts.
Morton Shallows manor house was having a ghost hunt when Bridgeman was found stabbed to death. Bridgeman was using the hunt to have a sexual tryst. He had also just attempted to buy the manor house so there are just a few people who would want him dead. There really wasn’t any ghost sightings in the manor house but someone had been sending out flyers stating don’t disturb the ghosts because they will take out their revenge on you.
The township has another ghost hunt and once again it has a murder. This time it’s the local pub owner. He is having an affair but is also despised by others so there are once again many possible murderers to choose from. Also, at the same time, Barnaby’s wife is pregnant and with the new partner for her husband she wants to try and fix him up with a friend of theirs. So yes we can say the show has many twists and turns to keep us occupied. What’s even more enjoyable is all this is taking place at Christmas time. So all the town is lit up and decorated.
Acorn does a wonderful job with this Christmas collectible. The pop-up collectible is available on October 15th, 2019. The quality of the DVD is fantastic. The sights and sounds are perfect for the season. This is an excellent gift for that special person or it is an excellent addition to that personal library.
