Canon Daniel Clement is Rector of Champton, where he lives alongside his widowed mother - opinionated, fearless, ever-so-slightly annoying Audrey - and his two dachshunds, Cosmo and Hilda.
When Daniel announces a plan to install a lavatory in the church, the parish is suddenly (and unexpectedly) divided: as lines are drawn, long-buried secrets come dangerously close to destroying the apparent calm of the village.
And then Anthony Bowness - cousin to Bernard de Floures, patron of Champton - is found dead at the back of the church. As the police moves in and the bodies start piling up, Daniel is the only one who can try and keep his community together . . . and catch a killer.

Customer Reviews
A great first novel
Loved this, his first novel. I shall look forward to the next!
Instantly forgettable
Could not get into this book too slow and too wordy
Slow and far fetched
So slow to start, then rushed at the end. Weak plot and hardly a thrilling twist. You won’t guess who dunnit because it’s highly unlikely and random
