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.

You'll Never Figure Out This One

I love the originality of the plots, the beguiling characters and the historical elements. Warning: once you start you can't put it down. Strongly suggest you start with the first in the series, Also, if you listen to the audio, the narrator is a genius with the voices. I can see teenage Christopher and the old gentleman grandfather. Enjoy!

Thoroughly enjoyable

I do love this series since it blends the pursuit of the criminal with the banter between grandfather and grandson
Seeing the evolution of Christopher as a sleuth is precious
George Blagden does a superlative job with character voices

Mystery Maven

Another outstanding listen. Wonderful story, wonderful narrator and quite the puzzle! Hope Christopher matures quicker and hope the next entry pursues his Grandfathers suggestion. Now the wait; and so enjoy the authors details at the end, regardless of length.
