THE MANOR HOUSE MURDER Faith Martin
The third in the series, this was at a church conference,that Monica and vicar Graham attended. A murder happens and Graham is a suspect.
After marrying Graham and moving to this small village, Monica found she has a knack for solving crimes. With this she puts herself in danger to solve. Good series. Given ARC by Net Galley and Joffe for my voluntary review and my honest opinion

How the police would manage without vicars' wives at the moment I don't know. They certainly seem to be in vogue. A very readable story by Faith Martin once again. Nothing too heavy, but who would expect a murder at a conference of C of E clergy.? At least you should be sure that they're telling the truth, but are they?

Loved it

A Clerical Conundrum.....
A clerical conundrum in this, the very welcome, third book in the Monica Noble series of mysteries (previously published as 'An Unholy Shame' under pen name Joyce Cato). Vicar, Graham Noble, has been asked to speak at a clerical convention held at the local Manor House - with wife, Monica, at his side for support. When murder rears its ugly head suspects are numerous and, with such a revered guest list, motives appear short in supply. Will Monica turn amateur sleuth once again as it appears that the local constabulary may be on the wrong track completely? Wholly entertaining, thoroughly engaging and well plotted with likeable protagonists in both Monica and Graham and a colourful supporting cast. Definitely my favourite series to date from Faith Martin and always a one sitting read. Absolutely full marks for sheer enjoyment value.
