The Bank of Goodliness

By: David Luddington

Narrated by: Nigel Planer

When Shadeys Bank loses another CEO to a scandal, they are desperate to show they’ve reformed. Who better to present their redemption than a country Vicar?

Reverend Tom Goodman is ousted from his job as a country Vicar for allowing a homeless family to stay in the church hall. Meanwhile, a major bank is trying to rescue its image after the latest in a long string of financial scandals. It seems like the perfect match, and Goodman is hastily appointed as the bank’s new CEO. All they have to do is promote him as their new figurehead whilst also keeping him away from the day-to-day business of dubious banking. Unfortunately for Shadeys, Tom is planning on making a difference. And so begins an epic battle of wills. The might of a multi-billion-pound bank versus a seemingly naïve country Vicar.

Critic reviews

"Like reading your favourite sitcom." (Nigel Planer)

Hard to put down!

I thoroughly enjoyed this book! I was disappointed when it came to an end, but was quite satisfied with how it ended. I hope David Luddington has written other books that I can read.

Very entertaining

I laughed aloud a lot while listening to this book, both from the funny lines and situations and the narrator’s delivery. The story was creative and I was wishing there were more Tom Goodmans as bank CEO.

An absolute riot

Loved it and wanted to call it a hoot. But it is an absolute riot. If you liked P J Wodehouse, you'll be drawn into this book, imitating British upper class accents and satirizing these characters while dealing with a serious subject: bank profits or greed. The narration was a real treat! All the while innocent, no hard crimes or violence.

Consequences

What happens when a man with scruples pokes his finger in the eye of a Big Bank; consequences, but for whom?
Nigel Planer is a great narrator!

Captivating

Plain and simple, this is a fabulous book. I listen to miltary history, mysteries of all types, spy thrillers, and non-fiction. This book fits none of those catagories. Mr. Luddington has gifted us with tales from outside any box. You will thank yourself for taking the chance and buying this book.
