"Hugely funny, exquisitely well written, a tongue-in-cheek village mystery to be savored. G.M. Malliet's arch tone and wry humor make her a writer to be treasured." --Julia Spencer-Fleming, New York Times bestselling author

"Rarely have I read descriptions that have left me gasping, in both their hilarity and their painful truth. A wonderful read." --Louise Penny, New York Times bestselling author

The first in a delightful series, Wicked Autumn sharply skewers the quintessential English village in a cunningly modern version of the traditional drawing room mystery. Wickedly entertaining, it's the perfect choice for Agatha Christie fans.

Max Tudor has settled happily into his post as vicar of St. Edwold's Church in Nether Monkslip. The quaint English village seems to be the perfect new home for Max, who has fled a harrowing past serving in MI5, the British domestic counter-intelligence agency. But his serenity is quickly shattered when the wildly unpopular president of the Women's Institute turns up dead at the Harvest Fayre. The death looks like an accident, but Max's MI5 training quickly kicks in, and before long he suspects foul play.

Customer Reviews

Vintage British mysteries by British authors are at the Top of my Reading List

As a rule...this is certainly a lovely surprise! Today's world with out too much muck & grit. Very good descriptions of the small village setting. Really enjoyed meeting the characters & look forward to meeting them again I hope in future books . A clever mystery - interesting varied personalities of village inhabitants & outsiders - a none-too-love-able victim - not without some redeeming qualities though. Oh, main character "Max Tudor" was very intriguing! I'm looking forward to reading the entire series & reading other books by this author!
