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?

Enjoyable yarn

I really enjoyed this, and like the regular characters. Without giving anything away, I wish the ending had been more comprehensive.

Humour, well delivered

Felt a bit short changed on this one. Very short for 1 credit. The story was quite evocative of a rural Christmas with well observed idiosyncrasies by Rev Coles, the humour of Audrey's approach to the world around her as always raising a smile. But we have come to expect Daniel and Neal to be involved in solving crime where this story simply left us with an obvious crime having been committed and the obvious perpetrator, but no investigative action. I also rather thought Rev Coles "padded out" this story with a lot of religious content, not always contributing greatly to the story. Overall though a pleasant , seasonal listen.

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,!

Short but Sweet

Nothing like a Christmas murder to get the taste buds going! Another fabulous book, by Rev Richard Coles!

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!).

Great stuff from RC

Another charming and beautifully observed story from Richard Coles - even if the mystery is not that mysterious. Perfectly narrated too.

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.

Good story but ….

Very good story as usual with Rev Coles, but this one was very short for the money paid. I felt it could have had a more intriguing storyline if thought about a bit more.
