There is a new curate in Abbeymead, and he has already annoyed bookseller Flora Steele by ordering an expensive, esoteric book and then failing to collect it. Novelist Jack Carrington, on the other hand, is jubilant about finishing his most recent book, and he wants to celebrate by taking Flora to the movies; before they can leave the bookstore, though, a sudden death intervenes - that of the new curate! As they begin to look into whether the death was an accident or murder, the couple discover that the curate was not at all who he seemed to be, and neither are a few other newcomers to town…. This is the fifth book in the Flora Steele cozy series, set in the mid-1950s in a, well, cozy English village. The relationship between Flora and Jack has reached a new level, but both are still more comfortable investigating crimes than each other, and the particular situation with the curate enables them to dive deeply into a convoluted set of circumstances and some rather dodgy people. I don’t know that it’s necessary to have read the previous four books in the series, but because it’s a light and pleasant setting, why not start at the beginning and enjoy the whole journey (to this point)? Mildly recommended. ( ) sin reseñas | añadir una reseña

"Bookshop owner and amateur detective Flora Steele teams up with handsome crime writer Jack Carrington to unravel a curious murder in the village of Abbeymead! Sussex, 1957: When Flora and her partner-in-crime-solving, Jack, arrive at the charming church of St Saviour's the last thing they're expecting to find is the curate, Lyle Beaumont, lifeless on the flagstone floor beneath the belltower, with a mysterious note in his hand. Flora is dismayed to find the poor curate dead. But she can't help being intrigued by the eclectic mix of bell ringers present at the old church - Mr Preece, the local butcher, Dilys Fuller, the busybody postmistress, and Stephen Henshall, a newcomer to the close-knit community. Any one of them could be the culprit - and Flora needs to act fast before someone gets away with murder... When Flora and Jack begin their sleuthing, they quickly realise all is not what it seems with the victim, and the certainty of the dead man's identity becomes the first twist in the investigation. Just as they're getting closer to the answer, the death of one of the suspects changes everything. As a series of unexplained accidents unfolds across the village, it seems no-one who was present at the church on the night of the curate's demise is safe. Has the bell tolled on Flora and Jack's detective days? And will they work out the truth in time to save themselves?"--Provided by publisher. No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |
