Publisher's Summary

The curious amd murderous exploits of the Rev Frances Outerard as recounted by himself with interspersions from his cat Maurice and his dog Bouncer.   Leslie Phillips as a cat?  Inspired casting!  An enchanting tale full of fun, wit and insight.  Set in a delightful 1950s mythical Surrey.  The collusion between the cat and the dog to ensure their owner keeps out of trouble is hilarious.

I see where the author was going but.....

There are a few cosy, or golden age type mysteries around where the humans are aided by cats, dogs, even horses to solve murder mysteries. Lillian Jackson Braun and Ria Mae Brown spring to mind so I see where the author was going here ( no spoilers) but she did not get there. There was no suspense and it was easy to see that she was setting up for a series.

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
