BOOK 3 IN THE BESTSELLING CANON CLEMENT MYSTERY SERIES

'A delightful piece of detective work' Mail on Sunday
'A very moreish read' Daily Telegraph

Canon Daniel Clement has suffered a secret humiliation and to recover takes respite at the monastery where he was a novice. But the monastery doesn't allow the break he needs, for tensions are building there too. There is a death at the monastery, and Daniel thinks it might be murder.

Meanwhile back at Champton, Daniel is the subject of village gossip, his mother Audrey is up to something again, there's trouble at the dress shop, trouble up at the big house, and the puppies are running riot.©2024 Richard Coles (P)2024 Orion Publishing Group Limited

Critic Reviews

Coles's feline wit and infectious enthusiasm for ecclesiastical trivia make for a very moreish read. (Jake Kerridge)
Written in Coles's customary wry style which owes much to the work of Alan Bennett. (Geoffrey Wansell)
Richard writes beautifully... a delightful piece of detective work set in a religious order. The atmosphere is so intense, you can almost smell the incense on the page. (Ryan Tubridy)

Another fab instalment in the Canon Clements series, with lots of extra theological tidbits to muse over for those with ears to hear. The theological sophistication of these stories, though presented generously without undue pomposity, is easy to underestimate. Love also the gentle lambasting of familiar Anglican parish life. But also very easy to enjoy these stories on face value as cozy whodunnits. Can’t wait for the next one!

Another cracking whodunnit
