Good series

In the last Turham Malpas story, big-name actor Hugo arrives in the village and almost destroys the marriage of the rector and his wife, Caroline. In this novel the rector, Peter, disappears so he can have some time to think about his relationship. In the meantime, the village church gets a new verger, and although he seems like a good candidate, he has connections that bring crime and danger itno the village. Once Peter returns, it is up to him and Caroline to decide whether there is enough of their marriage left to save. Quote: "According to him the verger at St. Thomas's is a mainstay of the Church of England. I have heard said the Archbishop consults him on theological matters from time to time." This novel mixes danger and mystery into the lives of the villagers, which makes it more similar to the first few books in the Turham Malpas series. It is a really good return. Lots of shady characters, marital discord, major village events, and all around good things.
