A perfect cosy crime for fans of M C Beaton's Agatha Raisin and Hamish Macbeth series.

Just when Sophie Sayers is starting to feel at home in the Cotswold village of Wendlebury Barrow, a fierce new vicar arrives, quickly offending her and everyone else in the close community!

Vicar Neep is strict about how he expects his parishioners to behave, but banning the villagers’ Halloween celebrations is the last straw for everyone! Especially when instead, he revives the old English Guy Fawkes’ tradition with a bonfire piled high with sinister effigies.

Sophie begins to suspect Vicar Neep is hiding secrets of his own and maybe even knows something about her own boss - the beguiling bookseller, Hector Munro!

But when a body turns up buried beneath the vicar’s bonfire Sophie knows this case is much hotter than she thought!
