Vestry Vice: The Isle of Wesberrey Mysteries Book Six Kindle Edition

by Penelope Cress (Author), Steve Higgs (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.6 out of 5 stars 1,093 ratings
Murder in a remote island parish ought to be rare ...

Knee-deep in offerings for the harvest festival and battling the bellringers who appear to be on strike, another mystery is the last thing Jess needs.

However, when the latest body is discovered, it coincides with the arrival of a film crew looking to make a documentary about the now-famous sleuthing vicar. Worse yet, the TV people are led by an old flame.

Unexpectedly at the center of her own true crime story, all she really wants to do is hide away with a pumpkin-spiced latte. Her cosy night by the fire will have to wait though. There’s a killer at large.

Add to the mix some clumsy attempts at courting from the school headmaster and more convincing romantic overtures from the handsome blast from the past and Jess is going to have her work cut out solving this one.

Review

"I love this series. I love the characters, all of them. Please keep them coming. The stories just suck me in totally."


"The characters are quirky, fun and impossible not to love. Jess's dilemma of being a priest with an unexpected gift from the goddesses just adds a unique level of challenges and fun to each mystery. I don't think any of the mysteries would be solved as quickly if it weren't for Jess pushing the limits on what's legal while sleuthing, and what isn't. So glad I found this series and can't wait for the next book."


"Brilliant - leaves me wanting more!!!"

About the Author

At school, the author was mostly disinterested in every subject except creative writing, for which, at age ten, he won his first award. However, calling it his first award suggests that there have been more, which there have not. Accolades may come but, in the meantime, he is having a ball writing mystery stories and crime thrillers and claims to have more than a hundred books forming an unruly queue in his head as they clamour to get out. He lives in the south-east corner of England with a duo of lazy sausage dogs. Surrounded by rolling hills, brooding castles, and vineyards, he doubts he will ever leave, the beer is just too good.

Penelope lives on an island off the coast of Kent, England, with her four children and an elderly Jack Russell Terrier. A lover of murder mystery and cups of tea (served with a stack of digestive biscuits), she writes quaint cosy mysteries and other feel-good stories from a corner table in the vintage tea shop on the high street. Penelope loves nostalgia and all things retro. Her taste in music is also very last century.Find out more about Penelope at www.penelopecress.com.

    Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

    When Steve Higgs wrote his debut novel, Paranormal Nonsense, he was a captain in the British Army. He would like to pretend that he had one of those careers that must be blacked out and generally denied by the government, and that he has to change his name and move constantly because he is still on the watch list in several countries. In truth, though, he started out as a mechanic - not like Jason Statham in the film by that name, sneaking around as a hitman, but more like one of those sleazy guys who charges a fortune and keeps your car for a week even though the only thing you went in for was a squeaky door hinge.

    At school, he was largely disinterested in all subjects except creative writing, for which he won his first prize at the age of ten. However, calling it the first prize he won suggests that there were other prizes, which is not the case. Awards may yet come, but in the meantime, he enjoys writing mystery and thriller novels and claims to have more than a hundred books forming a restless queue in his mind because they are desperate to be written.

    Now retired from the military, he lives in southeast England with a duo of lazy sausage dogs. Surrounded by rolling hills, brooding castles, and vineyards, he doubts he'll ever leave, the beer is just too good.

    I like the characters on this little island, and enjoy seeing how the Vicar manages her varying responsibilities. I appreciate how the authors treat her calling with her heritage and her interesting family. Many demands for one person. Thank Goodness for Lawrence. A must read!

    Jess, our valiant vicar and emergent channeler of dead people, is trying to do her day job and learn about her “powers” while dealing with a pushy TV crew headed by her former boyfriend. Amazingly, the local police inspector (and one of Jess’s former heart throbs) is beginning to think that some of Jess’s paranormal powers might just help him solve cases. Once again Jess can’t help investigating crimes committed in her parish. Successfully, as usual.

    I received an arc copy of the book.

    In my opinion, this is the flimsiest book in the series.

    Jess’s former boyfriend from back in her drama school days is in Wesberrey to do a documentary on the mystery solving minister.

    Jess is concerned that Lawrence seems to be distancing himself just as she is starting to dream of marriage.
