About this listen

When Shadeys Bank loses another CEO to a scandal, they are desperate to show they’ve reformed. Who better to present their redemption than a country Vicar?

Reverend Tom Goodman is ousted from his job as a country Vicar for allowing a homeless family to stay in the church hall. Meanwhile, a major bank is trying to rescue its image after the latest in a long string of financial scandals. It seems like the perfect match, and Goodman is hastily appointed as the bank’s new CEO. All they have to do is promote him as their new figurehead whilst also keeping him away from the day-to-day business of dubious banking. Unfortunately for Shadeys, Tom is planning on making a difference. And so begins an epic battle of wills. The might of a multi-billion-pound bank versus a seemingly naïve country Vicar.

Another brilliant book by David Luddington. Enjoyed it from start to finish. David’s stories always leave you feeling brighter about the world. I best start hunting the next one down.

David Luddington is without doubt one of my ‘go to authors’ when I need something to make me laugh & add balm to my soul. Recently been able to listen to a few of his audiobooks, including this one, instead of just reading them & the narration for each has been spot on. Please, please keep ‘em coming!!

Another great one…

I love coming across a good oul yarn, well told, and especially one that doesn’t take itself seriously. And this is such a one & one that is interspersed with smile-out-loud moments.
I have to say that I thoroughly enjoyed this throughout
Nigel Planer’s narration was excellent and while bits of the story seemed to repeat, wonderful stuff

Absolute nonsense with a huge dose of humour!
