Synopsis

#### A dead vicar in the vestry, the wrong man condemned, and a village with secrets to bury. #### After the vicar of Condicote is found murdered at the funeral of a dissolute baron, the police soon identify the likely culprit. But faced with countless rivalries and a host of scheming suspects, renowned detective Lord Edgington has a dilemma to resolve; how can he catch the murderer when no one knows what the vicar was running from just moments before he was killed? #### As more bodies appear, and everyone in town from the police constable to the dead baron's widow has something to hide, the detective and his loyal grandson must race against time to save an innocent man from the gallows. #### What the Vicar Saw is a warm-hearted, gripping and funny whodunit, set in a picturesque English village, with a cast of larger-than-life characters and a puzzle at its centre that will keep you guessing until the final chapters. The newest Agatha-Christie-style mystery in the bestselling Lord Edgington Investigates... series is spoiler free and can be read as a standalone novel. #### The Lord Edgington Investigates... audiobooks are narrated by George Blagden from the TV shows, Vikings, Versailles, and the Oscar-winning film of Les Miserables.

About Benedict Brown

I’m a Welsh-Irish-Englishman originally from South London but now living in Burgos, a beautiful city in the north of Spain, with my French-Spanish wife and our young daughter. Writing has always been my passion. It was my favourite half-an-hour a week at primary school, and I started on my first, truly abysmal book as a teenager. So it wasn’t a difficult decision to study literature at university which led to an MA in Creative Writing. I grew up in a crime-fiction-mad family and had made a few clumsy attempts at writing one over the years before coming up with the idea for my contemporary whodunits "The Izzy Palmer Mysteries". My second series, the 1920s-set "Lord Edgington Investigates...", has been a great success, with each of the books becoming a bestseller. If you'd like to tell me what you think about my detectives, my writing or the world at large, I’d love to hear from you, so feel free to get in touch at www.benedictbrown.net where you can also download my free mystery novellas and join my readers' club.
