‘And in that vacated space silence unpacked itself and through the static and hiss, a deeper silence came, like the depths of the sea.’

Richard Coles
Murder before Evensong

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.

First post on this account, I think it's worth sharing a big moment from my life. On Tuesday, I graduated from the University of Northampton with a 2.1 BSc in Psychology.

Richard Coles was there to great me.
