Dark Autumn
First Broadcast 16 September 2001
When Postman Dave Cutler is murdered on his early morning rounds, Barnaby and Troy rush to the tiny Hamlet of Goodman's Land where community WPC Jay Nash is more used to dealing with traffic cones than slashed throats.

With Jay's help the detectives discover that Dave offered more than a postal service to the female villagers and that there are several jealous husbands or jilted lovers who might have wanted him dead.
But when a woman's body is found on the village green with the same horrific injuries, the motive doesn't look quite so straight forward. They soon discover the idyllic rural setting hides a maze of adulterous liaisons and that a tense rivalry exists between the two local pubs.

But there is one clue, the faint sound of old-fashioned dance band music, heard shortly before the murders took place. But Troy is in no hurry to leave, the longer the crimes take to solve the more time he has for his growing friendship with Jay...
