About this listen

A dead vicar in the vestry, the wrong man condemned, and a village with secrets to bury.

After the vicar of Condicote is found murdered at the funeral of a dissolute baron, the police soon identify the likely culprit. But faced with countless rivalries and a host of scheming suspects, renowned detective Lord Edgington has a dilemma to resolve; how can he catch the murderer when no one knows what the vicar was running from just moments before he was killed?

As more bodies appear, and everyone in town from the police constable to the dead baron's widow has something to hide, the detective and his loyal grandson must race against time to save an innocent man from the gallows.

What the Vicar Saw is a warm-hearted, gripping and funny whodunit, set in a picturesque English village, with a cast of larger-than-life characters and a puzzle at its centre that will keep you guessing until the final chapters. The newest Agatha-Christie-style mystery in the bestselling Lord Edgington Investigates... series is spoiler free and can be listened to as a standalone novel.

The Lord Edgington Investigates... audiobooks are narrated by George Blagden from the TV shows, Vikings, Versailles, and the Oscar-winning film of Les Miserables.

I would say that these just keep on getting better, but that does a disservice to previous books. They are all great fun and as usual George Blagden does a great job with the narration. I feel like I'm with old friends when I read or listen to these books.

A great listen
