Taking the night off

Tonight I'm not in the mood to do any heavy reading. I spent a long day reading emails, memos, and student quizzes and my brain is fried. I think I will actually break down and watch TV. Okay not TV per se but Netflix. In 1987, British writer, Caroline Graham introduced her famous detective Chief Inspector Barnaby in The Killings at Badgers Drift. Ten years later, Barnaby made his television debut. I'm not one to watch much TV so when I do the program has to be really worth it and Midsomer Murders fits the bill. Talk about excellent writing. These are some really well crafted mysteries that will keep you guessing right up until the final denouement. So, if you love a good mystery, kick off the shoes, curl up on the sofa or ease the recliner back and tune in for an excellent example of the British village murder story. This isn't Agatha Christie we're talking about.
