All is not well in the Rectory of Turnham Malpas…Another delightful story of village life by the ever perceptive Rebecca Shaw.
When the people of Turnham Malpas realise that all is not as it should be between Peter, the rector, and his wife Caroline, the smooth running of the village falters.
Then the appointment of a new verger causes trouble when events from his past return to haunt him, bringing violence and danger to the peace of the village. And then there are the strange goings-on in the church at night; one of the villagers’ houses is ransacked; a couple is beaten up…
But troubles in Turnham Malpas are put to rest as Bonfire Night at the Big House arrives and the celebrations unite the village once again.
MY THOUGHTS
I love these books for me it’s like putting on a pair of comfy pyjamas and cosying up for the evening these books are so cosy. In this one you find out a bit more about Tom who has been living in the village for 5 years with his wife Evie when he takes over the job as verger to the church and things don’t go as planned for him. Then you have the story running alongside that of Caroline the vicars wife and lady Muriel temper ton getting the village together to go against mr Filch who owns the big house to go against him digging up a bush that has been there for hundreds of years. I have been reading a lot of thrillery kind of books lately so wanted to dip into something light and fluffy which I think these books are apart from a couple getting beat up in their own home which was something different in this book. For me this series of books is a definite must read.
