Quotes 

• Cully Barnaby : And what about the case, Dad? Mum told me. What was her name?

  DCI Tom Barnaby : Tara Cavendish, bludgeoned to death with a cricket bat. I'd have been less surprised if it would have been her husband, Robert, who'd come to a sticky end.

  Cully Barnaby : What's wrong with him?

  DCI Tom Barnaby : He's the sort of man you can't help disliking. He owned the quarry that seems to be the center of everything. He closed it down. There were redundancies.

  Joyce Barnaby : You don't kill somebody because they made you redundant.

  DCI Tom Barnaby : Not in the town, dear, but this is the country. And in the country, anything goes.

• Joyce Barnaby : By the way, Tom. I think I've found the perfect house.

  DCI Tom Barnaby : Oh no.

  Joyce Barnaby : It's a lovely cottage in Badger's Drift. It's got two bedrooms, two living rooms and a conservatory.

  DCI Tom Barnaby : Conservatory? Sounds like something out of Cluedo.

  Cully Barnaby : Colonel Mustard with the candlestick in the conservatory.

• Joyce Barnaby : It's beautiful. What do you think, Tom?

  DCI Tom Barnaby : You want to know what I think?

  Joyce Barnaby : No, don't say anything.

  Cully Barnaby : Could just see you here, Dad. Join the local cricket team. Go out and bat for Fletcher's Cross every Saturday.

  DCI Tom Barnaby : Careful what you say, young lady. This is all your fault.

  Joyce Barnaby : Here's one for you, Tom. It's a flat above a butcher's shop.

  DCI Tom Barnaby : [to Cully]  It's your round.
