Max Tudor has adapted well to his post as vicar of St. Edwold's in the idyllic village of Nether Monkslip. The quiet village seems the perfect home for Max, who has fled a harrowing past as an MI5 agent. But this new-found serenity is quickly shattered when the highly vocal and unpopular president of the Women's Institute turns up dead at the Harvest Fayre. The death looks like an accident, but Max's training as a former agent kicks in, and before long he suspects foul play. As the investigation unfolds, Max becomes more intricately involved. Memories he'd rather not revisit are stirred, evoking the demons from the past which led him to Nether Monkslip.

wicked sense of humor
- This was the first in the Max Tudor series that I've read, but I've enjoyed G.M. Malliet's other series. She has a wonderfully satirical sense of humor in the tradition of Jane Austen, and the setting of an English village offers her plenty of scope for amusing characters. At the same time, Max, the village vicar, is serious about his calling. Max has things to learn about faith and he does. Sound mystery. I figured out some of it, but not all, so was pleasantly surprised. The reader has clear, pleasant voice and does a decent job of changing it slightly for different characters.
