Murder at the Monastery continues from where its predecessor left off. Following his friend Neil's revelation, Daniel heads off to the monastery in Yorkshire where he was once a novice.
As per the title, there is a murder, and it is in a monastery, but it takes a back seat, as the bulk of the book is taken up with Daniel trying to sort out his feelings, and Mrs. Clements trying to sort out repairs to the vicarage while temporarily living at Champton hall.
That's not to say this isn't an enjoyable read, because it is, and there are many humourous moments. It is a little heavy on the religion, but the protagonist is a clergyman so this should come as no surprise.
Love the mention of The Communards. Those of us of a certain age will remember them fondly.
