First, never read two murder mysteries in a row set in an English village with the vicar playing amateur detective. I had to frequently stop to straighten out the characters and their backgrounds. What was I thinking?G.M. Malliet's Wicked Autumn was a fun read with a few of the characters a little too stereo-typed for my liking. The over-bearing woman who terrorizes everyone into submission (has victim written all over her), the classic village gossip line, the flirty divorcee, etc. But, I liked the vicar's background--former MI5 agent turned priest which added a new twist. And the plot was clever and clipped along pretty fast with a good wrap-up ending.
I read this on my Kindle and one of the downsides is that I couldn't easily skim through finding the quote I wanted to use in this review, so hence: no quotes. Bottom line: worth a quick read.
