The competition for the big chorus award is stiff, but would someone murder for it?
That's the big question Barnaby and Jones have to solve in "Death in Chorus," from season 9.
Connor Simpson, a choir member in Midsomer Worthy, passes out during a rehearsal and goes home. He leaves his phone. When someone goes to his house to return it, they find him dead from being beaten with a poker. There is a threatening note in his house with a pig's heart.
Soon all the choir members, including Joyce Barnaby, receive notes saying "You're next"
Then a birdwatcher, Sam Judd, is found dead from a shotgun injury.
The deaths are linked, but how?
There is a lot going on here. At the forefront is this nasty competition, which Midsomer Worthy has never won. Laurence Barker is pushing the choir hard, desperate to beat his nemesis, Francis Crawford, whom he feels took a job from him by nefarious means. Barker has problems in his home life, which don't help his mood.
A roll of film and something found in Connor's house both help Barnaby to figure out this murder.
Good episode, with Jones joining the choir after it's learned he has a beautiful tenor voice. And the music is lovely.
