Sophie Sayers Cozy Mystery #2: Murder at the Vicarage

By Debbie Young

Just when Sophie Sayers is starting to feel at home in the Cotswold village of Wendlebury Barrow, a fierce new vicar arrives, quickly offending her and everyone else he meets. Banning the villagers’ Halloween celebrations seems the last straw, particularly when he instead revives the old English Guy Fawkes’ tradition with a bonfire piled high with sinister effigies.

And what dark secret is he hiding about her boss, the beguiling bookseller, Hector Munro? Whose body is found outside the village bookshop? Not to mention the one buried beneath the vicar’s bonfire.

For fans of cosy mysteries everywhere, Sophie’s second adventure will have you laughing out loud as you try to solve the mystery before she does, in the company of engaging new characters, as well as familiar favourites from "Best Murder in Show".
