Nancy Dewar's hooded corpse is found in a river, having left her alcoholic husband Michael to live with art historian Philip Hamilton. Her death resembles that of a woman in a fresco Hamilton is restoring at a local church. Michael names shopkeeper Ewan Evans as his alibi and whilst Ewan is perturbed that his art student son Noah has a book depicting medieval tortures, the reverend Martha Hillcott hopes to sell a cottage on church land belonging to previous vicar, the ailing Arthur Gould and his daughter Ava, to raise money to save the frescoes from rising river water. On the night she died, Nancy, as one of the church council, was about to sell her vote to Martha to support the sale of the cottage. But then two more murders occur, both styled after pictures in the frescoes. As the river bursts its banks and villagers take refuge in the church, Barnaby works out that the killings were not based in religion but perpetrated to keep hidden a shameful secret, a case less of Let Us Pray than Let Us Prey.
这个理由。。emmm。。是不是为了逃脱房产这种俗气的设定而做的挣扎。。宗教性的意义在哪里？故弄玄虚有点过了。最后探长说他不同情凶手倒是挺好的，这种畸形的自我满足不配称之为爱。
完全被壁画那条线给误导了，动机揭示的有点太晚。
Andrea、壁畫與洪水……
快到结局时，还没想明白，凶手来的 的确有点让人措手不及。最近几季有点浮躁之感，要名星阵容，芭蕾，飞行表演，有点舍本逐末之感。
这集比起之前Paul Logue编剧的那集叙事上有了很大进步，不过最后动机揭露得太突兀了。最近Midsomer越来越喜欢在最后一刻玩逆转了。
