All men should have a hobby: it keeps them out from under their wives' feet. A bit of DIY, gardening, bowls or snooker, mysterious activities in the potting shed - fine. Dennis Brinkley's hobby, though, was killing machines. No wonder the village of Forbes Abbot was uneasy . . . Mallory Lawson's believes that inheriting his aunt's beautiful house in Forbes Abbot may have saved his sanity, and perhaps even his life. It enables him to take early retirement from his appalling teaching job in London, and his wife Kate to realise her dream of starting her own company. Life will be so much gentler and simpler in the country, won't it? But Forbes Abbot, for all its old-fashioned charm, is not quite the close-knit community it seems, and little differences and squabbles can become violent - even murderous. Detective Chief Inspector Barnaby has encountered many intriguing cases in his years on the force, but the case of the ghost in the machine is one to test even the most experienced of detectives.… (meer)

Midsomer Murders 7
  SueJBeard | Jan 8, 2023 |
This was a surprisingly good story with interesting characters. On the other hand, Inspector Barnaby did not really appear until almost half way through the book so it was less a Barnaby story than a generally entertaining read. ( )

The death of Dennis Brinkley in his collection of medieval weaponry is dismissed as an accident until a medium who has a surprising amount of knowledge of the circumstances of his death is poisoned a few days before she is due to reveal all.

Barnaby's investigations only really get started just over half way through, and so most of the book is spent following the various characters before, during, and after the investigation rather than the investigation itself. Having said that, it was an intriguing mystery albeit with some characters left at loose ends the reader may wish to finish off for themself.

This was a very long book with little action, in fact it was way too long. The plot involves investments and stock market trading but the technical terms used are not explained so it is difficult to know what's going on. I loved the character in the TV, but not so much in the book. Probably good that this is the end of the series. ( )

This was the first of the DCI Barnaby books that I've read. The characters are completely different to what I've come to inspect from the Midsomer Murders TV shows but much more well rounded and the story rocked along at a great pace.
