Great Revenge Plot
3 May 2022
Barnaby and his wife search for a new house when murder gets in the way. Joyce ought to simply give up trying to lead a normal life being married to the great Detective Inspector.

Fletcher's Cross is hosting their annual cricket match when the wife of the local wealthy landowner is beaten to death with a cricket bat near a quarry on her husband's estate.

The landowner is not a well liked man having employed unscrupulous business practices which resulted in a young man being killed years ago. His son resents his father and he has angered a group of locals who resent that Cavendish has closed a public footpath that ran across his estate. He is just crusin' for a brusin' so to speak.

One of the highlights of the episode is the great Imelda Staunton, who played Professor Umbridge in "Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix." She and her husband have some explaining to do.

The climax is great where the revenge is planned for the death of the young man years ago. Will the detectives save the day?
