 BOOK 4 IN THE BESTSELLING CANON CLEMENT MYSTERY SERIES

'The best of the new cosy crime writers' Daily Telegraph
'You'll want to take a front row pew in Champton while this delicious series unfolds' Janice Hallett

It is Christmas Day and at Champton Rectory, Canon Daniel Clement and his mother Audrey are joined by the residents and guests of the big house to drink, eat and be merry.

At the festive feast, peace and goodwill prevail.

Until two meet under the mistletoe. One of them falls down dead. And Daniel suspects murder has returned to Champton . . .

Critic Reviews

Witty and warm, yet sharpened with just enough bite. (Anna Bonet)
All stars
Most relevant
Richard Coles spins a shorter story that offers a cultural insight into a past world of an English village replete with social anxieties about class and behaviours, played out over a traditional Christmas lunch. He incorporates the traditions of the ‘old’ Church of England, and holds it all together through the narrative genre of a ‘village murder’. The interplay of characters is realistic and well drawn, and while it may help to have read his other books for character background, the story does stand on its own. Cole does narrate his stories at a rapid pace which some may find off putting, but I have ‘adjusted’ to it, and really enjoyed this book.

A lovely visit to times past with the frisson of murder
