“Hugely funny, exquisitely well written, a tongue-in-cheek
village mystery to be savored. G.M. Malliet's arch tone and
wry humor make her a writer to be treasured.”--Julia
Spencer-Fleming, bestselling author of ONE WAS A
SOLDIER Having spent almost three years in the idyllic
village of Nether Monkslip, Max Tudor is well acclimated to
his post as vicar at the church of St. Edwold’s. This quaint
town seems to be the perfect new home for Max, who has fled
a harrowing past serving in the British counter-intelligence
agency, the MI5. Now he has found a measure of peace among
urban escapees and yoga practitioners, artists and New
Agers. But this serenity is quickly shattered when the
highly vocal and unpopular president of the Women’s
Institute turns up dead at the Harvest Fayre. The death
looks like an accident, but Max’s training as a former agent
kicks in, and before long he suspects foul play. Max has
ministered to the community long enough to be familiar with
alliances and animosities among the residents, but this
tragedy confounds him. It is impossible to believe anyone in
his lovely hamlet capable of the crime, and yet given the
victim, he must acknowledge that almost everyone in town had
probably fantasized about the poor woman’s death. As Max
becomes more intricately involved, the investigation stirs
up memories he’d rather not revisit; the demons from his
past which led him to Nether Monkslip and the reason why he
is so heavily invested in keeping it from harm. Agatha-award
winning author G.M. Malliet first won over the mystery
community with her St. Just trilogy, prompting critics to
compare her to Golden Age greats like Agatha Christie and
Dorothy Sayers. This new series, beginning with Wicked
Autumn, confirms such praise, serving up the perfect English
village deliciously skewered in a brilliantly modern version
of the traditional drawing room mystery.
