Causton CID have confirmed one of their quietest years on record after previously topping the UK's murder per capita tables since 1997. DCI John Barnaby told us, "Twelve months of lockdown and tiered restrictions have clearly reduced the capacity of Midsomer's inhabitants to slaughter each other in ever more ingenious ways. "
Estate agent, Rob Thrower, says he's even seen an interest in people moving into the county, despite it's murderous reputation. "Covid has clearly seen properties with gardens becoming more desirable, wherever they are located. Indeed I had a couple this morning looking for a country cottage in an idyllic village setting. The husband also wanted to know about remote wooded or lakeside areas in the vicinity, and any local shops selling rat poison and chainsaws."
