About the Author:
A graduate of the universities of Nottingham and Newcastle upon Tyne, Suzette A Hill taught English Literature for many years at Reading College before retiring to Herefordshire where, despite the novel's narrative, she lives convivially with neither dog, cat nor clergyman.
From Publishers Weekly:
Starred Review. Hill's delightful fourth 1950s clerical mystery (after 2009's Bone Idle) takes the Rev. Francis Oughterard, canon of St. Botolph's in Molehill, Surrey, to the Auvergne in the south of France, where he has inherited a villa from Elizabeth Fotherington, the annoying woman he murdered outside his vicarage in 2007's A Load of Old Bones. Accompanying Francis is his sister, Primrose, and his unscrupulous friend, Nicholas Ingaza, who provided him with an alibi that got him off the hook for Mrs. Fotherington's murder and who believes the villa may contain Nazi gold. To Francis's astonishment, his dog, Bouncer, and his cat, Maurice, for whom he made arrangements back in England, also turn up in France, where they all become involved in yet another comic and dangerous romp. Evocative descriptions of the French countryside, an intriguing puzzle, and a host of lively characters will leave series fans and newcomers alike eager for the next installment.

Book Description Paperback. Condition: Very Good. More from Maurice and Bouncer, and the hapless Rev. Oughterard. Foreign parts and fresh imbroglios! This time the Rev Francis Oughterard, persuaded by blackmailing Nicholas Ingaza, journeys to the French Auvergne engaged on yet another project of dubious kind and painful embarrassment. Pursued by murderous thugs and ensnared in the posturings of a cranky religious sect, Francis and his new companions - plus stowaways Maurice and Bouncer - blunder their way through a network of absurd and perilous escapades which temporarily, at any rate, distract the vicar from his own dark secret. Praise for the series: 'I think this is tremendous - amusing and professional' Dame Beryl Bainbridge 'E F Benson crossed with Jerome K. Jerome' The Times audiobook review 'Perfect one-sitting summer read' Laura Wilson 'An intriguingly quirky read!' Leslie Phillips, OBE. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged. Seller Inventory # GOR003402900
