DEATH IN THE PARISH: A Canon Clement Mystery

The follow up to the Sunday Times number one bestseller Murder Before Evensong, this can be read alone if you want to meet some noisy neighbours, meddling mothers and have a mysterious murder to solve. It has been a few months since murder tore the community of Champton apart. As Canon Daniel Clement tries to steady his flock, the parish is joined with Upper and Lower Badsaddle, bringing a new tide of unwanted change. But church politics soon become the least of Daniel's problems. His mother, headstrong, fearless Audrey, is obviously up to something, something she is determined to keep from him, and she is not the only one. Then all hell breaks loose when murder returns to Champton in the form of a shocking ritualistic killing. Here is cosy crime with a cutting edge as we take a front row pew while this delicious series unfolds. A very nicely paced whodunnit and a beautifully produced large hardback, 414pp with fairly large print.
