About this listen

 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.

As dark secrets unfold, can Daniel solve the mystery at the monastery without the help of Detective Seargeant Neil Vanloo?©2024 Reverend Richard Coles (P)2024 Orion Publishing Group Limited Amateur Sleuths Cosy Crime Fiction Mystery

Set in a different place and with many emotions and reflections stirred up this marks another superb Canon Clement mystery.

This is the first of the series that has compelled me to Google ecclesiastical practices too - fascinating!

The wonderful writing is enhanced by the author’s reading. A powerful combination that can’t be put down. Looking forward to the next book

Another gripping tale

I was disappointed with this one. Bit too emotional and too personal. Interesting references to the monastery but a bit tiresome.

Not as good as the others

As well as the interesting characters and intriguing plot I now have an insight into the strange world of monastery life!

Another fascinating and enjoyable listen

String of religious discussions and debates with a murder popped in about 2/3 of the way through the story. Threaded through this is the continuing story of the characters loves and lives.

Not So Much a Murder Mystery, More a

The balance this time was overstretched by monastic life. We are in a window on life gleaned from time spent with the exceptional time that Richard Coles had with the Spencer family’s parish from his autobiography. At times seemingly stretched out with descriptive monotony that was a wearing rhetoric. So as a reader this novel lacked the vibrancy and pace that his first novel had in buckets.

As ever Richard Coles reads well.

This is captivating, the murder is almost incidental to the lives of the other characters in this story. The details of genius.

In my view, definitely the best so far!

Big disappointment, I couldn't actually finish it. The success of the others in this,series is due to the wonderful interactions between himself, his mother Audrey, brother Theo, his two colourful daschunds and the aristocratic caretakers of the village. The book was largely based in a monastey outwith the usual setting and failed to deliver.

Doesn't match up to the rest

A comfortable listen. I enjoyed the change of setting as somewhere a bit different but I found the religious aspects overshadowed the actual murder which was a shame and I wanted to spend more time with trying to solve the murder.

Enjoyable but not quite as good as the others
