by Reverend Richard Coles
Canon Daniel Clement is Rector of Champton. He has been there for eight years, living at the Rectory 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. Long-buried secrets come dangerously close to destroying the 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, stabbed in the neck with a pair of secateurs.
As the police move in and bodies start piling up, Daniel is the only one who can try and keep his fractured community together... and catch a killer.
A delightful, cosy murder mystery with a sharp edge.
∼ Happy Reading∼

Thank you for this suggestion. I am always looking for a good book!
ReplyDeleteMy pleasure Michelle
DeleteSounds like a fun read.
ReplyDeleteHe's quite a funny man
DeleteAll this over a LAVATORY? What a nest of vipers!
ReplyDeleteAh, yes, but what will the upheaval reveal?🫢
DeleteThat sounds fun! It reminds me of going to a lunchtime concert in London and I desperately needed the bathroom -- they did not have one! I ended up at the pub down the street (which was very cool and I was a little sorry I had to go back to my people at the church!)
ReplyDeleteHello Jeanie, I think lots of churches have toilets nowadays.
