Description



About the Book



Max Tudor has settled happily into his post as vicar of St. Edwold's Church in Nether Monkslip. The quaint English village seems to be the perfect new home for Max, who has fled a harrowing past serving in MI5, the British domestic counterintelligence agency. But his serenity is quickly shattered when the wildly unpopular president of the Women's Institute turns up dead at the Harvest Fayre. The death looks like an accident, but Max's MI5 training quickly kicks in, and before long he suspects foul play.



Book Synopsis



One of The Boston Globe's Best Mysteries of 2011
One of Library Journal's Best Mystery Books of 2011

"Hugely funny, exquisitely well written, a tongue-in-cheek village mystery to be savored. G.M. Malliet's arch tone and wry humor make her a writer to be treasured." --Julia Spencer-Fleming, New York Times bestselling author

"Rarely have I read descriptions that have left me gasping, in both their hilarity and their painful truth. A wonderful read." --Louise Penny, New York Times bestselling author

The first in a delightful series, Wicked Autumn sharply skewers the quintessential English village in a cunningly modern version of the traditional drawing room mystery. Wickedly entertaining, it's the perfect choice for Agatha Christie fans.

About the Author



G. M. MALLIET's first St. Just mystery won the 2008 Agatha Award for Best First Novel, and was chosen by Kirkus Reviews as a best book of the year. It was nominated for many awards, including the Anthony, the Macavity, and a Left Coast Crime award for best police procedural. Her subsequent mysteries and short stories have been nominated for nearly every major crime-writing award. Critics rave that she "may be the best mystery author writing in English at the moment (along with Tana French). She's certainly the most entertaining...." (Cleveland.com). She and her husband live in the US and travel often to the UK, the setting for all her books.
