The ‘Faith Morgan Mystery’ series continues in the same comforting vein with this classic whodunit. As vicar, Faith is rushed off her feet organising St James’s 900th anniversary, so the murder of the prickly artist commissioned to paint the church certainly puts a spanner in the works.
If you like to mingle with the crime solvers, you may find it a little more difficult this time to solve the case, clues are there but slightly more illusive and some red herrings join the congregation. This is another entertaining read, where the parishioners in particular are quite delightfully written, although they may be getting a little worried at the murder rate in this particular village! ~ Liz Robinson
The Faith Morgan Series:
1. The Reluctant Detective
2. The Advent of Murder
3. A Saintly Killing

It is late July, the run up to St James's Day. It is also the 1000th anniversary of the church at Little Worthy, and Faith Morgan has planned a whole range of celebratory activities - a music festival; a photographic booklet of recent history; a planting of new trees in the graveyard and vicarage garden; bell ringing; a visit from the bishop. A new painting of the church is commissioned from distinguished local artist Sal Hankley.
