A quiet English village is shaken to its core when its beloved curate is found dead under deeply suspicious circumstances, and amateur sleuth Lady Lupin Hastings — the charmingly scatter-brained but surprisingly perceptive wife of the new vicar — finds herself at the centre of a most improper murder investigation in Joan Coggin's delightfully witty whodunit, Who Killed the Curate?. Part of Coggin's Lady Lupin mystery series, the novel blends classic English village crime with sparkling comic dialogue, drawing inevitable comparisons to the golden age of Agatha Christie while carving out its own irresistibly eccentric niche. Coggin's writing is distinguished by its light, satirical touch and a cast of vividly drawn parish characters — gossiping churchgoers, suspicious locals, and red-herring suspects — who bring the claustrophobic world of the English vicarage to vivid life. Published by the respected house of Hurst & Blackett, this vintage title is a charming and largely overlooked gem of mid-century British crime fiction, one that will leave readers both laughing and guessing until the very final, revelatory page.
