Barnaby learns that Simone, wife of the centre's owner Alan Hollingsworth, is missing, and suspects that she has been kidnapped. The villagers of Morton Fendle are up in arms when they find out that the local craft centre, in which they had invested, is facing financial uncertainty. DCI Tom Barnaby needs to establish whether there is a connection behind the two deaths to solve the case. As most of the other cast members of the Causton Amateur Dramatics Society loathed him, there are multiple motives and suspects for his murder. It turns out that the safety tape on the prop knife used by Esslyn on stage had been removed, making it lethal. Soon afterwards her cousin, Esslyn Carmichael, inadvertently cuts his own throat on stage during the final act of the production of Amadeus. The peace of Ferne Basset is shattered when the body of quiet animal lover Agnes Gray is found floating in the nearby river. The police detectives now find themselves scrutinizing all the writers and unearth many secrets before Max himself is found dead from poisoning. Barnaby and Troy discover Hadleigh was somewhat of an enigma since a witness observed an unknown woman enter his house the night before his murder. The morning after Jennings's visit, Hadleigh is found bludgeoned to death at home by his housekeeper. Gerald Hadleigh, chairman of the Midsomer Worthy Writers Circle, is deeply troubled when the group decides to invite writer Max Jennings to their next meeting. Nosy village resident Iris Rainbird, who spies on her fellow villagers from a high vantage point in her house, may be a key witness, but she and her eccentric son soon fall victim to the killer themselves. When her death is confirmed as no accident, Barnaby and Troy start to question the eccentric and quirky residents. Her best friend and neighbour, Lucy Bellringer, had seen her return from a walk in the woods, unnerved and shocked by something she had seen. The death of elderly Miss Emily Simpson in the sleepy village of Badger's Drift brings DCI Tom Barnaby and DS Gavin Troy to investigate.
