Plot Summary:Barnaby and Troy investigate the murder of Tara Cavendish, who is beaten to death with a cricket bat near a quarry on her husband's estate. She is the young wife of Robert Cavendish, a local landowner who is also captain of the Fletcher's Cross cricket team. He is disliked by many: his son, Stephen, who resents his father and is having an affair with a local barmaid; Charles Jennings, whom Cavendish recently dismissed from the cricket team; and a group of locals who resent that Cavendish has closed a public footpath that ran across his estate. The mystery deepens when it turns out Cavendish's housekeeper, Emily Beavis, died in a fall at the quarry site some 18 months previously. With that information, Barnaby is convinced that the two deaths are connected.
凶手连续说谎的行为也太明显了吧（竟然还是没有猜中全部... Barnaby大概说了这整个剧最关键的一句话：“Not in the town, dear. But in the country, anything goes.” 乡村封闭环境的超现实与恐怖一语中的。这部戏至今所有重复出现的角色第二次全都死了，好惨。
