Destroying Angel
First Broadcast 26 August 2001
The owner of Easterly Grange Hotel has died and the annual festival is beginning in the hotel's gardens. Barnaby attends the funeral only to learn that the manager of the hotel is missing. The reading of the will reveals that the hotel has been divided among the missing manager, his glamorous wife, the hotel chef and the hotel accountant.
After a dog appears with the severed hand of the missing manager, Barnaby begins some serious enquries. Soon threatening notes are delivered to each of those named in the will and one by one accidents befall them. One is poisoned by mushrooms, another accidentally shot, another crushed by a falling drinks cabinet and two nearly killed when their van's are sabotaged.
Barnaby discovers that there had been a new will entrusted to the hotel manager but when he disappeared, the new will disappeared with him.
Could that explain why the will's beneficiaries have all suffered fatal accidents ? And, if so, who is the destroying angel who can skillfully arrange so many untimely deaths?
