Death and Dreams

Martin Wroath a man in the process of divorce and disliked by everyone not least because of his habit of not paying his debts is found in his cottage apparently having committed suicide in an unnecessarily complex manner. Barnaby's suspicions are aroused further when the man is found to have had such a large amount of an anti-depressant in his body that he would have been unconscious at the time. His investigations into the man's background lead him to the nearby Mercy Park cottage hospital which is run by an old acquaintance Dr Jane Moore. Then one of the staff is found dead and before Barnaby & Troy can get to the bottom of what's going on another person in the village is murdered. Indeed Barnaby's own life is threatened before he realises the links between the deaths.
