Özet

From the number-one best-selling author of The Ashes of London and The Fire Court, this is the second instalment in the acclaimed Lydmouth series

When a spinster of the parish is found bludgeoned to death in St John's, and the church's most valuable possession, the Lydmouth chalice, is missing, the finger of suspicion points at the new vicar, who is already beset with problems.

The glare of the police investigation reveals shabby secrets and private griefs. Jill Francis, struggling to find her feet in her new life, stumbles into the case at the beginning. But even a journalist cannot always watch from the sidelines. Soon she is inextricably involved in the Suttons' affairs. Despite the electric antagonism between her and Inspector Richard Thornhill, she has instincts that she can't ignore.

My first Andrew Taylor listen - but I am definitely going back for more. Very well narrated too.

the writing is reminiscent of Ngaio Marsh and you can't get any better than that. the narrator has the perfect voice for this series making the characters all too believable. I am hooked

Absorbing and compelling characters and plot

Andrew Taylor lets us into the secret of whodunnit towards the end, which is satisfying compared to the unexpected and unfathomable plots in some stories. Period atmosphere of 1950s is a little caricatured (gloves mentioned often and hats doffed regularly) but I enjoyed the characters and the strong sense of class and place.

Post war period atmosphere makes a good crime story
