Eleven Pipers Piping
Eleven Pipers Piping: A Father Christmas Mystery | C.C. Benison
7 posts | 4 read | 1 to read
The annual Burns dinner at Thornford Regis is an occasion for bagpipes, haggis and scotch. It ends up an occasion for tragedy when Will Moir, one of the pipers, is found alone, in a tower, dead of an apparent heart attack. Father Tom Christmas, the vicar of the town, is privy to all of the secrets of its inhabitants, and is one of the first to find out that Will Moir was poisoned. The town's suspicions go in many directions, and Christmas soon learns secrets that have been kept for generations--illicit trysts, even murders--the ramifications of which may have fallen onto poor Will Moir. Brimming with wit, laced with genuine surprise and featuring one of the most memorable (and unlikely) detectives in the cozy genre today, Eleven Pipers Piping mines the rich history of a small town to solve its most stunning crime.

This book fit the bill for cozy Christmas reading (interspersed between A Little Life and Dark Matter which did not fit that bill)! I picked this one up when it was on sale. It's the second book in the series but I didn't feel lost despite not having read the first book. I love a good cozy mystery, especially those set in a charming English village so this was right up my alley. Will definitely read the other books in the series as well.

I had never seen this word before until I read it in A Little Life. Now two books later, reading Eleven Pipers Piping I ran in to it again. Uxorious is officially my favorite new word that I've learned in 2016!

I picked this up as a quick holiday cozy read. The main character is Father Tom Christmas thug local vicar in a small town. There is a poisoning death at a local Burns dinner where bagpiping plays a part. It's a complicated mystery but with plenty of clues sprinkled through. It actually takes place just after Christmas. The vicar Fr. Christmas is well placed to learn many secrets but manages them with compassion and wisdom to solve things.
