剧情介绍
When a young woman is dressed like a bride and drowned in a bath, it triggers a spate of ghoulish wedding-themed murders in Great Worthy. The case takes Barnaby and Jones to a donkey sanctuary, a heritage steam railway, and a pub run by an ex-copper and former brothel madam. Could history be repeating itself?
Dianne Price is drowned in the style of the Brides in the Bath murders of almost a century earlier. Blessed Be the Bride is scrawled in lipstick on her bathroom mirror. Her grieving flatmate Jo, who works at a donkey sanctuary run by hard-drinking Liz Tomlin and her antagonistic son Sam, takes the opportunity to escape her voyeuristic landlord Bernard Flack to move in with vet Fran Carter but Fran too is killed, also in a copycat murder from the 1930s, again bridal-related. Pub landlord Matt Rowntree, an ex-cop, is married to Nikki, a former madame whose girls specialized in dressing up fantasies, which arouses Barnaby's suspicions but then an elderly couple are slain, with Just Married daubed on their car and Bridal Suite on the door. Bernard's voyeurism actually saves Jo's life as he calls the police to arrest the murderer, out to claim a fifth victim. The killer turns out to be a deranged and embittered religious maniac, out to slaughter people they believe to have acted immorally, executing them in the manner of murders evoking echoes of the past.
凶手太明显了
很特别的一集，更像是心理惊悚剧。
这集…有推理过程吗？
这集剧情提示好明显~
为什么叫echoes of the dead?
1.结构很有意思，前75分钟毫无头绪，最后凶手再次作案意外被捕，然后就破案了，编剧真好当；2.又是个以上帝之名作案凶手，牧师和教师都当过凶手，再次说明Midsomer盛产变态杀人犯是因为孩子从小耳濡目染；3.亮点是学校的名字：Great Worthy，真那么物有所值？
