Hugely funny, exquisitely well written, a tongue-in-cheek village mystery to be savored. G.M. Malliets arch tone and wry humor make her a writer to be treasured. --Julia Spencer-Fleming, New York Times bestselling author

Rarely have I read descriptions that have left me gasping, in both their hilarity and their painful truth. A wonderful read. --Louise Penny, New York Times bestselling author

Having spent almost three years in the idyllic village of Nether Monkslip, Max Tudor is well acclimated to his post as vicar at the church of St. Edwolds. This quaint town seems to be the perfect new home for Max, who has fled a harrowing past serving in the British counter-intelligence agency, the MI5. Now he has found a measure of peace among urban escapees and yoga practitioners, artists and New Agers. But this serenity is quickly shattered when the highly vocal and unpopular president of the Womens Institute turns up dead at the Harvest Fayre. The death looks like an accident, but Maxs training as a former agent kicks in, and before long he suspects foul play.

Max has ministered to the community long enough to be familiar with alliances and animosities among the residents, but this tragedy confounds him. It is impossible to believe anyone in his lovely hamlet capable of the crime, and yet given the victim, he must acknowledge that almost everyone in town had probably fantasized about the poor womans death. As Max becomes more intricately involved, the investigation stirs up memories hed rather not revisit; the demons from his past which led him to Nether Monkslip and the reason why he is so heavily invested in keeping it from harm.

Agatha-award winning author G.M. Malliet first won over the mystery community with her St. Just trilogy, prompting critics to compare her to Golden Age greats like Agatha Christie and Dorothy Sayers. This new series, beginning with Wicked Autumn, confirms such praise, serving up the perfect English village deliciously skewered in a brilliantly modern version of the traditional drawing room mystery.
