Wicked Autumn - G.M.Malliet

What could be more deadly than village life in the English countryside?

Max Tudor has adapted well to his post as vicar of St Edwold's in the idyllic village of Nether Monkslip The quiet village seems the perfect home for Max, who has fled a harrowing past as an MI5 agent. NoW he has found a measure of peace among urban escapees and yoga practitioners, artists and crafters and New Agers.

But this newfound serenity is quickly shattered when the highly vocal and unpopular president of the Women's Institute turns up dead at the Harvest Fayre. Her death looks like an accident but Max's training as a former agent kicks in, and very soon he suspects foul play.
