Badger's Drift is the ideal English village, complete with
vicar, bumbling local doctor, and kindly spinster with a
nice line in homemade cookies. But when the spinster dies
suddenly, her best friend kicks up an unseemly fuss, loud
enough to attract the attention of Detective Chief Inspector
Tom Barnaby. And when Barnaby and his eager-beaver deputy
start poking around, they uncover a swamp of ugly scandals
and long-suppressed resentments seething below the
picture-postcard prettiness. In the grand English
tradition of the quietly intelligent copper, Barnaby has
both an irresistibly dry sense of humor and a keen insight
into what makes people tick. Badger's Drift marks
Barnaby's debut, and offers ample proof that Caroline Graham
may indeed be "simply the best detective writer since
Agatha Christie" (Sunday Times of London).
