Step into the gently wicked world of Champton village with the Canon Clement Mysteries, a three-book hardback collection by broadcaster and Anglican priest the Reverend Richard Coles. Following amateur sleuth Canon Daniel Clement as he juggles parish politics, an opinionated mother, and a run of inconvenient murders, this series has become a Sunday Times number one bestseller. Warm, witty and quintessentially English, it's perfect for readers who enjoy cosy crime with heart and a genuinely clever puzzle.. About the Books:. The series opens with Murder Before Evensong, in which Canon Daniel Clement's modest proposal to install a lavatory in St Mary's church reopens old wounds and uncovers a murderer among his own parishioners, set in the fictional village of Champton. In A Death in the Parish, Daniel faces a forced merger with neighbouring parishes just as his formidable mother Audrey becomes entangled in a mystery of her own, and church politics collide with a fresh body count. The trilogy concludes with Murder at the Monastery, sending Daniel away from Champton to a supposedly tranquil monastic retreat that quickly proves anything but peaceful once a suspicious death disturbs the silence. Across all three novels, Coles draws on his experience as a working clergyman to render English parish life with affection and sharp comic timing. Fans of Agatha Christie's Miss Marple and Midsomer Murders will feel instantly at home.. Key Benefits:. Complete three-book hardback run of the Sunday Times bestselling Canon Clement Mysteries..
