Who Killed the Curate?

Thank you so much for my wonderful birthday package, Chrissy! (I‘m sorry it has taken me so long to post!) I loved the toadstool gift wrap, and the mushroom bud vase! 🍄 The books are perfect! I can‘t wait to read the Curate this Christmas (i.e. now 😂) The 3-D card is so cute! I have it displayed on my bookshelf. (I wish I could have gotten a better picture - my friend was helping with the photos, so I had to be quick!)

Who Killed the Curate? | Joan Coggin

A fun book to kick-off my #cloakanddaggerchristmas, with a central character who is two-thirds Wodehouse heroine and one-third Amelia Bedelia. Not the most complex of mysteries - I tagged the culprit pretty much from the beginning - but a very amusing ensemble and look at village life.

It qualifies for a couple of prompts, but counting it for All I Want for Christmas Is You. @ruthiella

Aims42 That character sounds AMAZING! Stacking this!!! 2y

Ruthiella Sounds fantastic. 😃 2y

jlhammar I just might need to get this one for next December - sounds great! 2y

Book mail!

The tagged book arrived today, the first in a four-volume series of comic mysteries originally published in the 1940s. Lady Lupin is a ditsy “Bright Young Thing” who marries a vicar and finds herself embroiled in local murders. Both the first in the series and the last (pictured) are set at Christmas.

jlhammar These sound so fun! 2y

AlaMich I‘ve always hoped to run across some website somewhere that would explain the olde-tyme English clerical term system. Vicars and curates and livings etc etc. 2y

Aimeesue Lovely! This also reminded me that I bought a copy of the first last year - now to dig it out for December reading! 2y

Tamra A Christmas mystery! 😍 2y

LeahBergen @jlhammar Don‘t they? 😊 2y

LeahBergen @AlaMich Right? It‘s always so confusing. Here‘s a bit about vicars, curates, and rectors: https://randombitsoffascination.com/2012/01/18/rectors-and-vicars-and-curatesoh-... 2y

LeahBergen @Aimeesue Dig it out, dig it out! 😆 2y

LeahBergen @Tamra They can‘t be beat. 😆 2y

erzascarletbookgasm Lupin? 😂 These sound fun! 2y

LeahBergen @erzascarletbookgasm And I think she‘s a bit loopy, too. 😆 2y

Aimeesue @LeahBergen 📚 ♠️ (I‘ll have to use a spade, since I can‘t find a shovel emoji 😄) 2y

AlaMich Thanks for the link! 2y

LeahBergen @Aimeesue 😆😆 2y

batsy Oh, these sound lovely! And a Christmas mystery! Love the covers. 2y

LeahBergen @batsy I‘m hoping they are as good as they sound! 2y

rubyslippersreads I‘m drooling over those covers! 2y

Jess_Read_This 💸influenced… I‘ve read Who Killed the Curate but didn‘t realize it was a series! Had to pick up that gorgeous covered second book! 2y

LeahBergen @rubyslippersreads I love them, too! 2y

LeahBergen @Jess_Read_This I guess there are 4 books in this series and these are the first and the fourth. I hope they republish the other two in matching covers! 2y

Lady Lupin is a scream and the most hopeless vicar‘s wife imaginable. I loved this comic mystery. Bright Young Things Between the Wars is a favorite subject of mine. I need to track down the second title in the series, “The Mystery at Orchard House.” #mystery #anglophilesoflitsy
