Monica and husband Vicar Graham attend a clerics conference at a manor house. A cleric who mentioned a nut allergy dies after eating a dessert infused with peanuts. The chef is appalled someone tampered with his dessert. Monica, convinced Chief Inspector Jason is on the wrong track, begins her own investigation. We see more of Jason's investigation than Monica's. Too many characters and dull writing make this a struggle to read. A few places showed promise but the narrative's flatness returned too quickly. I did not read previous installments in the series so it's possible that affected my enjoyment as well. I received an advance review copy through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. England, cosy-mystery, Church-of-England, murder, law-enforcement, amateur-sleuth, women-sleuths Excellent protagonists and all characters are engaging and interesting! Delving into the hierarchy of The Church was a bit daunting at first, but probably because I skipped the cast of characters at the very beginning. Excellent plotting and sleuthing despite obstacles from other characters. Loved it! I requested and received a free ebook copy from Joffe Books via NetGalley. Thank you!

Gehört zur ReiheMonica Noble (3)
Monica Noble and her husband Graham, the local vicar, are invited to participate in a high-flyng ecclesiastical conference being held at a swanky hotel in their village. During the Saturday night dinner, the ambitious female cleric Celia Gordon tragically dies, seemingly of a peanut allegery. But when Chief Superintendent Jason Dury arrives on the scene he quickly discovers that it's a case of murder. Monica's husband seems to be firmly on the suspect list, amongst others, including an eminent bishop, an archdeacon viciously opposed to female clergy, and his wife, the curator of a local museum, who is definitely up to something. But if Monica is to find out who killed Celia, and free her husband from suspicion, she must grapple with a very ruthless - and increasingly desperate - killer, putting herself and those around her in ever increasing danger.
