THE INSTANTLY ICONIC NO.1 BESTSELLER: NOW A MAJOR TV SERIES
BOOK 1 IN THE CANON CLEMENT MYSTERY SERIES

'Cosy crime with a cutting edge' Sunday Telegraph
'Whodunnit fans can give praise and rejoice' Ian Rankin

Canon Daniel Clement is Rector of Champton, where he lives alongside his widowed mother - opinionated, fearless, ever-so-slightly annoying Audrey - and his two dachshunds, Cosmo and Hilda.

When Daniel announces a plan to install a lavatory in the church, the parish is suddenly (and unexpectedly) divided: as lines are drawn, long-buried secrets come dangerously close to destroying the apparent calm of the village.

And then Anthony Bowness - cousin to Bernard de Floures, patron of Champton - is found dead at the back of the church. As the police moves in and the bodies start piling up, Daniel is the only one who can try and keep his community together . . . and catch a killer.

I live RRC, his conversational wit, amazing knowledge and intelligence, his voice. His book no👎. So much irrelevant, boring detail. Way too much church stuff not enough story.

Oh Dear 🤦🏼‍♀️
