The Inspector Barnaby books are a series of seven mystery novels featuring Chief Inspector Tom Barnaby, a detective who investigates murders in the fictional English county of Midsomer. The series began with The Killings at Badger’s Drift in 1987 and concluded with A Ghost in the Machine in 2004.

These novels became the basis for the hugely popular Midsomer Murders television series, which has been running since 1997 and has far exceeded the original seven books in number of stories. The novels are classic British village mysteries where seemingly peaceful communities harbor dark secrets and deadly motivations.
