THE NEW NOVEL FROM THE NO.1 BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF MURDER BEFORE EVENSONG CANON DANIEL CLEMENT IS BACK... It's been a few months since murder tore apart the community of Champton apart. As Canon Daniel Clement tries to steady his flock, the parish is joined with Upper and Lower Badsaddle, bringing a new tide of unwanted change. But church politics soon become the least of Daniel's problems. His mother - headstrong, fearless Audrey - is obviously up to something, something she is determined to keep from him. And she is not the only one. And then all hell breaks loose when murder returns to Champton in the form of a shocking ritualistic killing...

A Death in the Parish is the second book in the Canon Clement Mystery series. As in it's predecessor, this book sees Canon Clement help the police in a murder investigation. The victim is a teenage boy, and the murder has all the hallmarks of a ritual killing.
Canon Clement is reminiscent of Chesterson's Father Brown, but whereas Father Brown's mysteries could be described as cosy, Canon Clement's are anything but.
I enjoyed this book, and feel that Richard Coles has found his groove. I sincerely hope we will be meeting Canon Daniel Clement, and his mother Audrey, again.
