Revd Francis Oughterard is in the grip of a blackmailer and under orders to steal a valuable figurine. Relief at success is short-lived when the theft backfires, and further skulduggery ensues. The Reverend s efforts to distance himself from yet another murder lead to embarrassing complications for him and his pompous bishop, Horace Clinker. When things come to a head in the form of crazily menacing Victor Crumpemeyer, it is once again up to the Reverend s world-weary cat, Maurice, and intrepid mongrel, Bouncer, to save his bacon.

Perfect one-sitting summer read. Laura Wilson, Guardian
I think this is tremendous - amusing and professional Dame Beryl Bainbridge
E F Benson crossed with Jerome K Jerome The Times audiobooks review
Quite why this series should be charming, astringent and witty, instead of emetically twee, I am not sure, but it is entirely delightful Guardian
This dry, funny British gem, with its eccentric cast of characters, will have readers laughing and eagerly awaiting the next episode Publishers Weekly
An intriguingly quirky read! And Maurice the cat is a very clever puss indeed! Leslie Phillips OBE
