Summary
When Shadeys Bank loses another CEO to a scandal, they are desperate to show they’ve reformed. Who better to present their redemption than a country Vicar?
Reverend Tom Goodman is ousted from his job as a country Vicar for allowing a homeless family to stay in the church hall. Meanwhile, a major bank is trying to rescue its image after the latest in a long string of financial scandals. It seems like the perfect match, and Goodman is hastily appointed as the bank’s new CEO. All they have to do is promote him as their new figurehead whilst also keeping him away from the day-to-day business of dubious banking. Unfortunately for Shadeys, Tom is planning on making a difference. And so begins an epic battle of wills. The might of a multi-billion-pound bank versus a seemingly naïve country Vicar.

Nice for the big banks to be pulled down a peg or two
I think we can all empathise with the little village, being trampled by the greedy bank. A well told and narrated story. The characters are believable and engaging, the technicalities of banking are explained simply enough for me to understand what's going on, while at the same time sounding like they are complicated enough to be believable. Thoroughly enjoyable, One of the best from this author.

Absolute nonsense with a huge dose of humour!
I love coming across a good oul yarn, well told, and especially one that doesn’t take itself seriously. And this is such a one & one that is interspersed with smile-out-loud moments.
I have to say that I thoroughly enjoyed this throughout
Nigel Planer’s narration was excellent and while bits of the story seemed to repeat, wonderful stuff

Great array of characters
I find I am searching for David Luddington's next book already! As with his earlier books, the characters are a motley mix but made so real by both the author's writing and Nigel Planer's superb narration. Unlikely plot but the characters sweep you along until the story becomes believable and you don't want to stop listening.. Next bool please!.
