Monica Noble Detective, Book 3

By: Faith Martin

Narrated by: Claire Storey

Discover a new series of murder mysteries set in an idyllic English village. From million-selling author Faith Martin.

Meet Monica Noble: the vicar’s wife with a taste for solving crimes.

Please note this book was first published as “AN UNHOLY SHAME” under Faith Martin’s pen name JOYCE CATO.

The weekend turns murderous....

Monica Noble and her husband Graham, the local vicar, are invited to participate in a high-flying church conference being held at a swanky manor house hotel in their village.

At the Saturday night dinner, the ambitious female cleric Celia Gordon tragically dies, seemingly of a peanut allergy.

But when Chief Superintendent Jason Dury arrives on the scene he quickly discovers that it's a case of murder.

And Monica's husband is the prime suspect....

Other suspects include 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 mortal danger.

This is the third of a series of enjoyable murder mysteries with great characters and baffling crimes which will keep you gripped till the final chapter.

Perfect for fans of classic whodunits by authors like Agatha Christie, LJ Ross, TE Kinsey, and J.R. Ellis.

Love them hope there are more

The stories are good as well as the characters. Don’t think they need the attraction between the married Vicars wife and the cop but I hope there are more

Series got Stale

I liked the first book the best the second was a little of a rehash in the third you kind of knew her everything was fitting into place because her writing style followed a theme. I would still recommend as just a nice get away from reality.

Excellent

Fantastic story. Gripping from start to finish. I'd give it 10 stars if I could.
