The Reverend Daniel Clement is the Church of England vicar of Fenchurch St John - a man of God, a lover of dogs, and now, reluctantly, an investigator of murder. When he proposes a lavatory for the church, the village divides with surprising ferocity, the bathroom a lightning rod for resentments nobody had wanted to air. Then the churchwarden is found dead among the pews, and Daniel, with his mother Audrey and two dachshunds at his heels, is drawn into an investigation that tests what he knew about his flock. Coles writes his clergy with the affection of someone who has lived the role. Now a major TV series.
