England, 1810. Young Parson Tobias Campion is excited to be starting at the small parish of Moreton St Jude's. But his first night in the village brings excitement of the wrong kind when he has to intervene in the attempted rape of housemaid Lizzie Woodman.

Even in the normal course of events, village life is far from quiet, and soon Tobias has to deal with suspicious deaths. Matters come to a head when Lizzie disappears from her employers' home. What has become of the girl and who is responsible? As Tobias searches for answers, he finds himself delving into the dark secrets that haunt Lizzie's past.

Critic reviews

"Streets ahead of most historical crime fiction." (Andrew Taylor)

Good Characters

I can never get enough of historical mysteries. So glad to have run across this series.

Cutesy and not much happening

I started this series because the incredible David Thorpe reads books 2 & 3. The reader for this (Paul Ansdell) was ok, but ir was as if the author was enamored of the flowery language of the past rather than creating events for her characters. I quit halfway and returned the book. I hope to have better luck; am still going to try volumes 2 & 3.
