Thanks to one of our library members from the Awapuni Library for the following book recommendation.

G. M. Malliet intrigued readers with Wicked Autumn, the first mystery featuring her captivating lead character, Max Tudor, and the little English village of Nether Monkslip.

In A Fatal Winter, Max – Anglican priest, former MI5 agent and village heartthrob – investigates two unusual deaths at Chedrow Castle. His investigation is complicated by the arrival of a rather ghastly group of long-lost, greedy relatives, any one of whom has a motive for murder. With a fast-paced plot, vividly written characters and a good-looking priest doing the sleuthing, the books in this series are likely to become instant classics for those who enjoy the murder-mystery genre.
