The Reverend Dodd, vicar of the quite Cornish village of Boscawen, spends his evenings reading detective stories by the fireside - but heaven forbid that the shadow of any real crime should ever fall across his seaside parish.
But the vicar's peace is shattered one stormy night when Julius Tregarthan, a secretive and ill-tempered magistrate, is found at his house in Boscawen with a bullet through his head.
The local police inspector is baffled by the complete absence of clues. Luckily for Inspector Bigswell, the Reverend Dodd is on hand, and ready to put his keen understanding of the criminal mind to the test.

One of my favourite authors is Agatha Christie so I thought I would give this a go as it was written at roughly the same time.

Has the same vibe and is an enjoyable read

Thank you very much for this wishlist book that arrived safely today! I’m sure I will enjoy this, even the cover looks totally charming!

This was an entertaining read and I enjoyed the scenery very much! As a mystery reader though I’m not sure if I was given enough clues to make an educated guess on the guilty one.

This book is on its way to the next reader as a part of the wishlist tag game. Happy reading!

Thank you, soozreader! I was travelling along the Cornish coastline in 2018, let's see if I recognize any of these places.
