Publisher's summary

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.

Another Great Installment

I have been listening to this series since it first started and look forward to each new installment. I am enjoying see Christopher mature into a young man. It’s a bit nostalgic at the same time. In this he came very close to solving the mystery although it had a great twist at the end that I saw a glimmer of earlier. The narrator is one of the best. He brings the book to life that its difficult for me to read the mysteries. So i look forward to the audio version.

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.

This story kept me guessing

This story flowed really well. I was surprised at the end. Chrissy progressing throughout the book was a nice part of the book as well.

Murder, humor, and cake

Love the humor and family banter. Wonderful sarcasm without being mean. Always makes me smile while I’m listening but sad when it’s over.
