Written in Blood

Gerald Hadleigh the secretary of the writers circle in the quiet village of Midsomer Worthy was never in favour of inviting the best-selling novelist Max Jennings to attend one of their meetings. When Hadleigh is found dead the following morning brutally battered to death the other members of the circle wish they had heeded his reluctance. Barnaby & Troy discover that Hadleigh was a man of mystery with no National Insurance number no relatives and no marriage certificate to match the wedding photo on display in his house. When another body is found they have a double murder on their hands.
