Dark Autumn
In the village of Goodman's Land, postman Dave Cutler is murdered while on an early morning round. With the help of local community WPC Jay Nash, Barnaby & Troy's investigations reveal that he was the local Romeo, having seduced a number of women in the locality, but would any of the jealous husbands or jilted lovers have wanted to murder him? Then another body is found. Troy is happy to stay as long as possible, as the longer it takes to solve the murders, the more time he has to pursue his growing friendship with Nash.
