The Black Book is a very good episode from the twelfth series of Midsomer Murders, a story very different to any other, which sees Barnaby investigate the art world, displaying superior knowledge of the specialist field then any art critic. The story is very clever, very subtle, with more emphasis on the story then the killings. It's very, very well acted, with all doing their part, although I must say Susannah Harker really is a cut above, Such a natural actress, her scenes with Barnaby are so effortless, a highly competent talent. I like the touches of humour, Jones is at his very best. It's not a classic, but it is a very good episode, quite unlike any other. Enough twists to keep you guessing, and I have to admit I had no clue as to the killers identity.
