A Death in the Parish by Richard Coles

4.0

His parish of Champton is now merged with the Badsaddles and Daniel Clement has a new partner in God.  The vollage is trying to get back to normal after the events of the previous year but then a boy is found murdered in a horrific way.  Now Daniel is dealing with issues both secular and also around his vocation.
The first book in this series was a really enjoyable read and this is no different.  It's so gently and warming that it's difficult to remember that it is really a crime novel!  I love the setting in the 1980s and the characters are all cliches and yet so correct.  Now love is raising it's head and setting the scene of the next installment.
