Death in Disguise
When May Cuttle, from the Lodge of the Golden Windhorse interrupts DCI Barnaby during preparations for Sunday lunch, little does he realise the intrigue that is to follow. The home for 'travellers' at the Lodge becomes the scene of Barney and Troy's investigations when the founder of the new-age commune, accidentally falls down the stairs to his death. But when the other founder is murdered in front of a roomful of people, the first death starts to look as if it may have not been an accident at all.
