These dvds bring to life all the ghastliness and arch humor of Caroline
Graham's intriguing mystery series. John Nettles plays Detective Chief Inspector
Barnaby with a wry wit, a satisfyingly keen-but-not-supernatural intelligence,
and a deep understanding of human nature. Daniel Casey as the much younger
Sergeant Troy has a somewhat tougher job, painting his younger policeman's
character in shorter bits over the course of the series, but he becomes a most
welcome face. The series is beautifully acted and produced and the solutions are
satisfying--not a clinker in the bunch.
