At the festive feast, peace and goodwill prevail.

Until two meet under the mistletoe. One of them falls down dead. And Daniel suspects murder has returned to Champton...

Can Daniel and Detective Sergeant Neil Vanloo solve the crime and catch the Christmas killer?

as ever a good easy story to listen to

only a couple of hours long - far too short for a whole credit - feel a bit cheated,!

A Cosy Christmas Murder at Champton!

I usually avoid Christmas novellas as they’re shorter and usually lack the gusto of the main series. Rev. Richard packs all the classic hallmarks of his Canon Clement books into this short story though and I was taken back to childhood Christmases in the early 90s listening to this!

If you’ve not read the first novel, the nuances of the individual characters won’t be obvious in this book but if you have, you’ll feel like you’re in the room attempting to enjoy Christmas at the Rectory.

Thank you for this gorgeous little taste of Champton (and bread sauce!).

Short story for Christmas with a murder

A lovely short story for Christmas, read beautifully by the author. I really like the recurring characters, church life and, of course, the crime and solution.

A Lovely Relaxing Listen

I enjoyed everything about this book. It flowed so well. An interesting story too. Short but not a dull over descriptive moment anywhere.

Really short - didn’t realise it wasn’t a full book

Enjoyable story, but feel a bit cheated having purchased it thinking it was a full novel like his others. It’s really short!

Good story perfectly narrated.

I had already read and written a review for this book. The narrator, being also the author, read the story expertly, obviously knowing the appropriate speed and where emphasis should occur; his voice was perfect.

An excellent murder mystery plus a recipe

Although this is only a short story, it contains all the usual things which make Richard Coles' Canon Clement books such a good read. I cannot say much without risking including a spoiler, but the book combines Richard's keen eye for the detail of all the things which give rise to Christmas tensions as well as showing his lived experience as a vicar during Christmastide.
The story and denouement are crisp and well-plotted.
This would be a good book to listen to while sitting round the fire beside the Christmas Tree on Christmas evening.
And thank you Richard for including an excellent recipe which we will certainly be trying.
HIghly recommended and a pity it couldn't have been longer.

Over too soon

I love these books so much. My only complaint is that it was not long enough. It’s ok, I’ll just listen again. It’s made me feel all christmassy, wonderful.
