Garden Of Death is the 1st episode of Series 4 and the 14th episode overall.[]
The Inkpen family cause controversy in Midsomer Deverell as they are planning to turn their popular public memorial garden into a commercial tea shop. A village meeting is held where Elspeth Inkpen announces to the shocked villagers that it is none of their business, only for her daughter to be later found murdered, killed with a shovel that evening. 24 hours later, Elspeth is found dead in an apparent suicide. Barnaby and Troy's investigation takes them to a father and daughter who are mourning their missing wife/mother, and to a violent man with a shotgun. There are also the two remaining Inkpens - one is the snobbish grandmother and the other is the illegitimate daughter who was adopted for most of her life but returned to get to know her mother. One thing is certain - the village has much greed...
