When a man is murdered during a pet show, and his body is surrounded by rabbits it is speculated that he was either trying to sabotage the show and was caught or if he walked in on somebody else sabotaging the show. Then it emerges that the rabbit that one the 'Best in Show' prize for the past few years is missing. Inevitably it doesn't take long for Barnaby and Winter to uncover more motives; the dead man was an estate agent who was trying to persuade the owner of the local hall to sell. There is also the arrival of man who left the village, and his wife and child, fifteen years previously as well at least one affair.
While this wasn't the best episode of 'Midsomer Murders' it was still rather fun. Just about every non-regular character was a suspect or potential next victim so viewers are likely to be guessing to the end. When the killer is finally exposed it neither feels too obvious nor too random. During the investigation other, less serious, crimes are exposed and inevitably there is another murder. The cast, which includes familiar faces as well as some I didn't recognise do a solid job. Overall a decent episode that fans of the series should enjoy.
