Bone Idle
Published in hardback June 2009 by Constable & Robinson Ltd
ISBN: 978 1 84529 937 8 This is the third novel featuring the Revd Francis Oughterard, genteel murderer of parishioner Mrs Elizabeth Fotherington. Once more he is in the grip of his blackmailing pal Nicholas Ingaza who has instructed him to steal a valuable figurine from an eccentric collector.
The project plunges the vicar into a maelstrom of panic, misadventure and murder, embarrassing not only himself but also his bishop, the pompous Horace Clinker. Dramatic consequences ensue which leave the vicar bloodied but unbowed! As before, events are watched and chewed over by his animal companions, the sniffy Maurice and chummy Bouncer. |
