In Prior's Wood

A Max Tudor Mystery

De: G. M. Malliet

Narrado por: Michael Page

Newly returned from investigating a murder in Monkslip-super-Mare, former M15 agent Max Tudor wants nothing more than to settle back into his predictable routine as vicar of St. Edwold's Church in the village of Nether Monkslip. But the flow of his sermon on Bathsheba is interrupted when Lady Duxter is found dead after having made a suicide pact with her lover.

Lady Duxter's husband rallies quickly from the double tragedy - too quickly, it is murmured in the village. Having already planned a writer's retreat at his manor house, he insists the show must go on.

But when a young girl goes missing and a crime writer becomes a target, DCI Cotton asks Max to lend his MI5 expertise to the investigation.

Many suspects emerge as the scope of the investigation widens beyond the writers to villagers who have crossed swords with the insufferably smug crime author. Soon Max begins to wonder if the attack on the writer was part of a broader conspiracy....

Most Convoluted Yet

The mystery didn’t even try to make the clues add up. Instead, the author chooses to spend the final 4 chapters simply having Max painstakingly explained how the clues related to the killer.

I love this whole series.

The story solution surprised me and I generally get it sooner. I love the narrator's voices. When is the next one coming?

Another lovely story

I like this story as much as the other books about Max Tudor.
I particularly enjoy the author’s subtle sense of humor.

A good mystery. Kept me guessing

I felt this was well written and kept the reader going back and forth trying to figure it out. It was a good read

Disappointed

I normally enjoy this series, but this time it seemed like the entire story was in the wrap-up at the end. A lot of narration, little sense of the characters and no action.
