Why read it?

1 author picked Murder Before Evensong as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

Great characters, high drama over a toilet, and a very murdery murder. Perfect cozy crime.

Canon Daniel Clement stands between two sides of a war over the installation of a new toilet in the church. The writing is gentle and yet brilliant, comfortable and funny, and also has moments of poignant tenderness. 

Extra points for having dogs in the story.
