I like John Bude! Although written a long time ago, Bude starts well and continues in the same vein. I particularly like the historical and geographical information at the start of each book. In this one, the Vicar is the one who really discovers the answer to the mystery. After this, Bude stays with good plodding police work. This one is fun, however, because the Vicar is like most of us who will read this book, a mystery fan who indulges in his pastime and has long discussions with the doctor about the books they read. When murder occurs in his parish, he finds things are not quite as simple in real life. He is determined to see justice done, however, and goes about solving the crime very methodically. Bude keeps us interested in the characters without giving too much personal detail. The story is about a crime and solving it. As this one is well written and fun to read, I am already into the second and plan on staying with Bude for a while.
