After reading WICKED AUTUMN, A FATAL WINTER and PAGAN SPRING (and enjoying each one immensely), I was all set to enjoy A DEMON SUMMER. A DEMON SUMMER is #4 in G. M. Malliet’s Max Tudor Mystery series. Max Tudor, vicar of St. Edwold’s Parish in Nether Monkslip, is a former MI5 agent who seems to have a flair for investigating and solving mysteries, especially of the murder variety. He is called upon by his Bishop and by DCI Cotton to investigate an apparent attempted poisoning (via fruitcake) by the ‘Handmaids of St. Lucy’ at the ancient Monksbury Abbey. There are also rumors of misappropriated funds. This series is very atmospheric, very character-driven, and very interesting to read. This particular title is reminiscent of an Agatha Christie Hercule Poirot mystery. The plots, the characters, the locations, the minutia of village life (and its inhabitants) have become very familiar to me. This particular title, A DEMON SUMMER, is my favorite so far. *I do get a bit confused as to the differences (if there are any) between the Church of England, the Anglican Church and Catholicism. They seem so intertwined (as they probably are). Some very interesting research is in order. ***** nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione

"In this new mystery, someone has been trying to poison the 15th Earl of Lislelivet. Since Lord Lislelivet has a gift for making enemies, no one--particularly his wife--finds this too surprising. What is surprising is that the poison was discovered in a fruitcake made and sold by the Handmaids of St. Lucy of Monkbury Abbey. The powerful Lord complains loudly to the local bishop, who asks Father Max Tudor, vicar of Nether Monkslip and former MI5 agent, to investigate. Just as Max comes to believe the poisoning was accidental, a body is discovered in the cloister well. Can Max Tudor solve the case and restore order in time to attend his own nuptials? A Demon Summer is another superb mystery from rising talent G.M. Malliet. "-- Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |
