Congregation (Skeletons in the Cupboard Series Book 3)
Congregation (Skeletons in the Cupboard Series Book 3) | Aj Griffiths-Jones
1 post | 2 read
England, 1970s. A bustling mining town awaits the arrival of their new vicar. People don't know what to expect as the rather aloof Reverend Matthews descends upon his unfamiliar parish. Nevertheless, he is welcomed with open arms. But after discovering a journal left by his predecessor, the clergyman begins to wonder what secrets lie behind the seemingly innocent lives of his congregation. The Bishop's unexpected arrival has the vicar questioning his own past and a cloud descends upon his religious beliefs, bringing chaos to both himself and the townsfolk. Written in an upbeat style, with dark humour and quirky characters, this classic British mystery is best savoured by the fire with a pot of tea.

Set in the 1970's this is the 3rd book in the 'Skeletons in the Cupboard' series. It follows the first year of a Vicar in his new parish. As in previous stories each of the parisheners, towns folk, shop keepers and the house keeper all have secrets. The vicar will discover these in time. While the discovered secrets in earlier books were quite light-hearted and amusing these are darker and upsetting in some cases. It was a slow satisfying read.
