MIDSOMER MURDERS
A TALE OF TWO HAMLETS
The death of a young film star at the opening of a 'satanic experience' at his family's ancestral home brings Barnaby and Troy to the feuding villages of Upper and Lower Warden. Here the Smythe-Websters are exploiting the work of celebrated House of Satan author Ellis Bell - but is there more to his legacy?
A point of interest is that this episode is centred
around a Victorian male writer called Ellis Bell. This was the
pseudonym of Emily Bronte!
