Synopsis

Canon Daniel Clement has suffered a secret humiliation and to recover takes respite at the monastery where he was a novice. But the monastery doesn't allow the break he needs, for tensions are building there too. There is a death at the monastery, and Daniel thinks it might be murder.

Meanwhile back at Champton, Daniel is the subject of village gossip, his mother Audrey is up to something again, there's trouble at the dress shop, trouble up at the big house, and the puppies are running riot.

As dark secrets unfold, can Daniel solve the mystery at the monastery without the help of Detective Seargeant Neil Vanloo?

Ecclesiastical? Well yes, of course it is!

I thoroughly enjoyed this third book in the canon Clements series. So first things first... there are a lot of negative reviews complaining about the eccle... READ MORE

Maybe Too Much Ecclesiastical Referencing ?

Look, my late brother was a Canon and served in the C of E for 34 years and that gave me a bit of an advantage when reading this book which was so full of ... READ MORE

Just too much religion

The monastic setting and High Anglican/Anglo Catholic ethos spoiled this essentially good puzzle, but the trick of relying on the monks’ need to confess in... READ MORE

Too Much Ecclesiastical Referencing

This is a good book not the best of the series, took quite a while to get into, and way too much Ecclesiastical referencing. don't get me wrong- this book ... READ MORE

Not really a murder mystery

I found this mainly centred on the relationship between the Canon and male detective. The murder was second to this and not the main storyline.

Too much ecclesiastical content.

Unfortunately I really didn’t enjoy this offering. In fact, I almost abandoned the whole thing. Only the fact that I’d paid good money for a hardback copy,... READ MORE

Good read interesting.

I like Richard Coles style of writing a murder mystery book. A story which includes information, gossip, and detail which all prove interesting.

Disappointing

Disappointed in yet another person adding a gay element to the vicar just because it’s the popular thing to do. Shame on you Reverend

Murder at the Monastery

I really enjoyed this book for two reasons. Richard Cole gives so much information in his novels about Christian life alongside the story. I do wonder if... READ MORE
