看《骇人命案事件簿 第八季》就像在乡间小路上散步时突然被拖进灌木丛——彼得·史密斯把英国田园风光拍得越宁静，那些藏在篱笆后的秘密就越让人后背发凉。适合喜欢阿加莎·克里斯蒂式慢推理、能静下心听人物对话的观众，尤其适合在阴天配一壶热红茶观看。导演彼得·史密斯擅长用缓慢的镜头堆积细节，不急不躁，但你稍一走神就可能错过关键线索。探长巴纳比（约翰·纳特尔斯饰）被派来调查，他总是一边耐心听着邻居们的闲话家常，一边从花园的松土痕迹、书房里少了一本书的细节里，慢慢拼凑出死者生前藏起的秘密。约翰·纳特尔斯扮演的巴纳比探长从不靠灵光一闪，而是像老农翻地一样，一遍遍走访村民、核对时间线，连磨坊主家的账单都能成为破案线索。这部剧适合那些愿意沉下心、不追求快节奏刺激的观众——看完一集像是陪老朋友聊了场天，又像自己动了回脑筋。

　　Barnaby and DS Scott investigate the murder of Patrick Pennyman, an undertaker in the village of Fletcher's Cross. The man's wife thinks he committed suicide but the pathologist determines he was killed. The man died soon after his return home after attending a service at the local spiritualist church, itself the source of some controversy in the village. As the investigation progresses, the police learn that Pennyman was generally disliked. Former employees, business partners and others all had a grudge against him of one sort or another. Barnaby believes the head of the Spiritualist church to be a charlatan and while there is a link to the ever increasing number of murder victims, the solution to the crimes is to be found in an illicit love affair.
