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.

My Thoughts:

I had heard a lot of things about this whodunit read and only decided to pick this one up now. People that are in the public eye you always wonder if they can produce a good read, and for me this time it fell flat. Daniel is the rector of Champton where he lives with his mother and two dachshunds. When Daniel decides that he wants to change things up a bit, the community is up in arms about it. As secrets are buried beneath the walls of the church and people do not want their secrets to be uncovered. When a body is found, Daniel has to work together with his community to find out whodunit. It was an ok read, I found it slow and a bit repetitive, thee are lots of characters which confused me at times and also some ramblings that confused me too. Not really my kind of read unfortunately.
