Midsomer Murders spin-off announced as hit ITV series makes much anticipated return
As fans gear up for the return of Midsomer Murders this Sunday, an official spin-off project has been unveiled. The first interactive novel will be released as fans of the show will be able to see if they can survive the county of Midsomer.
The synopsis of the novel reads: "All is not well in the beautiful county of Midsomer. On the eve of its first Villages In Bloom competition, a man lies dead, smelling of damson jam. Who could have done it? Well, that's where you come in.
Step into the shoes of Midsomer CID's newest recruit, choose your own path and decide which way the story goes. Will you get to the bottom of the mystery? Will you bring the perpetrator to justice? And perhaps most importantly of all, could you avoid an untimely, and possibly bizarre, death... will YOU survive Midsomer?
"Your task is to make the right choices, solve the case and - most tricky of all - stay alive!... Good luck." The paperback version of the novel will be available to purchase on May 23. The 23rd series airs on ITV this Sunday, with the new season having four episodes for viewers to sink their teeth into.

"But even Barnaby must admit he is tempted by the outdoors life and stocks up on his own survival rations when Sarah reveals that her mother is coming to stay…
"Warren, who was part of a small doomsday prepper community in the village, had found much comfort being with like-minded individuals… until now.
"The duo must question if someone was desperate to get their hands on Warren’s shelter, or if someone is trying to send a message. The pressure is on to work out who and why before the killer can strike again."
Midsomer Murders returns on Sunday at 8pm on ITV1 and ITVX.
