Join us for an evening with bestselling author, broadcaster and all-around national treasure, the Reverend Richard Coles, as he talks about his new novella Murder Under The Mistletoe, a cosy Christmas sequel in his Canon Clement series.
It is Christmas Day and at Champton Rectory, Canon Daniel Clement and his mother Audrey are joined by the residents and guests of the big house to drink, eat and be merry.
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?
Cosy Crime fans can give praise and rejoice and look forward to what is sure to be an entertaining evening. We look forward to welcoming the Reverend Richard Coles back to Oswestry!
Until his retirement from clerical duties in 2022, the Reverend Richard Coles was a Church of England priest in Finedon, Northamptonshire. In complete contrast, Richard was the instrumentalist half of pop band The Communards, who had 3 UK Top Ten hits in the 1980’s. He now co-presents Saturday Live on BBC Radio 4 and appears, from time to time, on QI, Have I Got News For You, and Would I Lie To You? He has won Christmas Masterchef, Celebrity Mastermind twice, and captained Leeds to victory in Christmas University Challenge in 2019. A contestant on Strictly Come Dancing in 2017, he scored a lamentably low mark for a Paso Doble.
He writes regularly for the Sunday Times, and is the author of half a dozen books, including a bestselling autobiography, Fathomless Riches, and the bereavement bestseller The Madness of Grief. Murder Before Evensong, the first book in the Canon Clement Mystery series, was an instant number 1 Sunday Times bestseller.
