A Third Class Murder: a cozy 1930s mystery set in an English village - Paperback

An MSN.com Top Ten Mystery for May 2021, ranking higher than Richard Osman's The Thursday Murder Club.

England, 1930. An antiques dealer is found robbed and murdered in a third class train compartment on a remote Suffolk branch line. The police believe they know who the killer is, and an arrest is soon made.

A passenger on the same train, the Reverend Lucian Shaw, country parson and former army chaplain, is concerned that the police have the wrong man, and begins an investigation of his own.

Before long, Shaw is drawn into a web of intrigue, deceit and murder which lurks beneath the surface of a seemingly peaceful country parish.

Fans of Agatha Christie, Dorothy L. Sayers and G.K. Chesterton's 'Father Brown' will love this cozy mystery set in an English village.

The Reverend Shaw books in order of publication are: A Third Class Murder, The King is Dead, The Wooden Witness, Death on the Night Train, Murder in Act Three and Murder at Evensong. Each book stands alone and does not need to be read in order.
