When she is found murdered, her unusual wounds perplex Bullard and Barnaby finds himself investigating a village living in fear.

The Sword of Guillaume: Barnaby joins a trip from Midsomer Parva to Brighton because he's suspicious about a deal to buy coastal land for holiday chalets by Causton's mayor. Also against the proposal is Lady Matilda William, a descendant of a French knight Sir Richard Guillaume, whose son Richard will be the last of the line because of brain damage sustained in an attack 20 years ago.
When a hated property developer and a voluptuous hotelier are beheaded, Barnaby starts to piece together the puzzle of The Sword of Guillaume.

Blood on the Saddle: Ford Florey is a town with a Wild West Society and many grudges. During a Wild West show at the local fayre, the witch on the Dunk the Witch stall is well and truly dunked. Laughter turns to horror when she does not get up and the water in the tank starts to turn red.
Barnaby and Jones need to be quick on the draw to track down the murderer.

The Silent Land: On a dark night in the village of March Magna, Barnaby’s wife Joyce swerves her car to narrowly miss a shadowy figure in the road. Or so she thinks. Later that night a body is discovered in the old cemetery. Did Joyce hit someone after all or was the victim, who seems to have plenty of enemies, killed by one of the villagers? Barnaby and Jones have their work cut out as all the villagers seem to be hiding something – but is it murder?
