This week I’ve read A Death in the Parish by The Reverend Richard Coles. It’s a cosy crime where the local rector is the detective, set in the 1980s when things were still a little quaint. It does a good job of pulling in new characters, and developing those we already know. I’m not entirely sure I followed the solving of the crime though. There’s a lot of churchiness, which isn’t unexpected but some readers might find off-putting.

We're always delighted to have the Rev Richard Coles return for a visit (even if he didn't bring the dogs with him!)

Signed copies of A Death in the Parish, and Murder Before Evensong, from Orion Books , now available, appropriately enough, at Holy Corner!
