Max Tudor must contend with his new role as a father as
well as a murder all too close to home in Nether Monkslip in
the next installment in G. M. Malliet's wildly popular
series
Agatha Award-winning author G.M. Malliet has
charmed mystery lovers, cozy fans, and Agatha Christie
devotees everywhere with Wicked Autumn, A Fatal Winter, and
Pagan Spring, the critically acclaimed mysteries featuring
handsome former-spy-turned-cleric Father Max Tudor. Hailed
as "wittier than Louise Penny, lighter than Tana French,
smarter than Deborah Crombie" (Cleveland Plain Dealer),
Malliet is a top-notch writer whose work gets better with
each book.
Something sinister is stirring at Totleigh
Hall, the showcase of the English village of Nether
Monkslip. Usually, the Lord and Lady of the manor are
absent--high tax rates, it is murmured with more than a
trace of envy, force them to live on the continent for most
of the year. But Lord and Lady Baaden-Boomethistle have been
in residence for some weeks now, and the villagers are
hoping for a return to the good old days, when the lord of
the manor sprinkled benefits across the village like fairy
dust. Father Max Tudor's invitation to dinner at the Hall
comes as a welcome novelty; it will be his first time
meeting the famous family that once held sway in the area.
But before he has time to starch his clerical collar and
organize a babysitter, a sudden and suspicious death
intervenes, and the handsome vicar's talent for sorting
through clues to a murder is once again called into play in
this charming and clever novel.
