Rent Midsomer Murders: Series 1: Faithful Unto Death (1997)

Nothing is what it seems behind the well - trimmed hedges of the picturesque cottages in the idyllic English county of Midsomer. Beneath the tranquil surface of sleepy village life, there exists dark secrets, scandals and downright evil John Nettles stars as the humorous, thoughtful and methodical Detective Chief Inspector Barnaby. A project to redevelop the Old Mill is struggling financially and many of the inhabitants of Morton Fendle believe that they have been conned out of a considerable sum of money. When the wife of the wealthy mill owner goes missing Barnaby suspects that she has been kidnapped and sets out to unravel the mystery.
