What the Vicar Saw

A dead vicar in the vestry, the wrong man condemned, and a village with secrets to bury.

After the vicar of Condicote is found murdered at the funeral of a dissolute baron, the police soon identify the likely culprit. But faced with countless rivalries and a host of scheming suspects, renowned detective Lord Edgington has a dilemma to resolve; how can he catch the murderer when no one knows what the vicar was running from just moments before he was killed?

As more bodies appear, and everyone in town from the police constable to the dead baron's widow has something to hide, the detective and his loyal grandson must race against time to save an innocent man from the gallows.

What the Vicar Saw is a warm-hearted, gripping and funny whodunit, set in a picturesque English village, with a cast of larger-than-life characters and a puzzle at its centre that will keep you guessing until the final chapters. The newest Agatha-Christie-style mystery in the bestselling Lord Edgington Investigates... series is spoiler free and can be read as a standalone novel.
