Murder at the Village Church by Victoria Walters
5.0
After a revelation in the last book, Nancy wants to find her mother. Her mother had abandoned her as a child and Nancy believed she was dead. Until Nancy discovered she had been sighted at a party five months ago.
As she begins her search, a new face arrives in Dedley End. Sebastian Holmes has just been released from a long stretch in prison, after crimes committed when in a gang.
As Nancy starts to uncover something Sebastian is hiding, another murder happens. But here is the twist…
It happened in a locked Church!
Now, not only has Nancy, Jane, Jonathan and Co got the mystery of her disappearing mother to solve, but now a murder in the village church.
This is my favourite book of the series so far. Again, the classic mystery trope aside, Nancy’s personal story is so lovely to read. I really like it when I can connect with the main character. In saying that, most people have to have that connection to like a book, but for me, it’s always been a gripping storyline. Like with Gallows Court I read last month. It was a 5* read and I wasn’t the biggest fan of one of the main characters.
I thoroughly enjoyed this series and I hope to hope that Victoria Walters decides to write a few more. I do suspect, giving the ending of the last book, that may not happen. But if she does, I’ll have them pre-ordered so fast!
