Description
Fiction. Mystery. Miss Marple meets Oscar Wilde in this new series of cosy mysteries set in the picturesque Cotswolds village of Bunburry. Harold Wilson, police sergeant in the picturesque Cotswolds village of Bunburry, loathes Alfie McAlister. Alfie is handsome, popular, a self-made multimillionaire - and worst of all, he and his friends Liz and Marge are much better than the police at catching villains. But Sergeant Wilson loathes one person even more - Bunburry's vicar, Philip Brown - and show more is thrilled by the chance of locking him up for a local crime. When Reverend Brown refuses to defend himself or produce an alibi, it's up to the Bunburry Triangle to uncover what's going on. Nathaniel Parker, born in 1962, graduated from the London Academy of Music and Dramatic Art and went on to join the Royal Shakespeare Company. His television career began in 1988 when he played Flying Officer 'Flash' Gordon in the LWT mini-series "Piece of Cake". He is also the lead in the BBC series "The Inspector Lynley Mysteries", based on the novels by Elizabeth George. Nathaniel Parker has an extensive list of audio books to his credit, ranging from the classics of Charles Dickens and Thomas Hardy to more modern writings and children's books. show lessTags

Yes, this tenth novella in this fun cozy series does feature the unassuming vicar Philip Brown, but there are plenty of sinners to go around. We learn a lot more about Reverend Brown, but I won’t reveal any of it, as it would spoil this charming tale.
An inorganic farm store sells produce and runs a bit of a tea shop on the outskirts of Bunburry; however, after a long-haired oddball arrives, it’s vandalized. The stranger looks remarkably like Reverend Brown, and the village’s hard-drinking idiot sergeant wants desperately to get poor Brown. Enter the Bunburry Triangle — London transplant Alfie McAllister and his two elderly friends, Marge Redwood and Liz Hopkins — plus Liz’s great-niece, Constable Emma Hollis. They solve the show more crime, foiling the dreadful Sergeant Harold Wilson. I know, I know: This synopsis does make the story sound twee, but I promise it’s not! Please read and find out for yourself. show less

Loved it as much as the others in the series. Pity there is no audio version, and the next one will only be released in June this year.
