      About This Book

      Faith Morgan, former policewoman and vicar of the small English village of Little Worthy, goes to visit one of her parishioners at his farm, only to discover the house surrounded by police cars. A body has been found in the local river and farmer Markham is charged with murder.
      Though busy with preparations for Christmas, Faith is called on to investigate when it's found out that the victim is also a member of her congregation - Lucas Kemp, a member of the choir.

      Faith's informal inquiries lead her to uncover a hotbed of tensions and romantic rivalries in the choir, questions about drugs, and a run-in with an unsavory uncle - which leads to a dramatic rescue by Ben, Faith's former detective partner and ex-boyfriend.

      In the tradition of Father Brown and Miss Marple, The Advent of Murder brings readers an authentic picture of English rural and church life combined with a satisfying mystery that will keep readers guessing until the end.
