Whodunit?

It is hard to let go of old friends. (Demented Old ladies, cream cakes and brutal murder - 9.4.11). Old detectives heading for the byways. The Bill, Frost, Poirot and now Barnaby. There was something comforting about this sleuth of the English vales who was unfailingly polite but firm. The antithesis to the parade of botoxed, glitzy American crime violence overkill. So what if he and/or his family had the uncanny knack to be involved in every murder in the villages(!) The English crime whodunit genre will be lesser now John Nettles has moved on.
