Abbot Peter is a true original.
*Daily Mail*
Highly original . . . very different from most detective
stories.
*Clerical Detectives*
To a long list of much-loved detective pairings, which includes
Holmes and Watson, Poirot and Hastings, and Morse and Lewis, we
must now add Abbot Peter and Tamsin Shah.

Reviews of previous Abbot Peter mysteries, A Director’s Cut (2014),
A Psychiatrist Screams (2013) and A Vicar Crucified (2013, all
DLT):
‘A nicely plotted, swiftly paced yarn, full of teases . . . Parke
evokes the creepiness of the setting marvellously. He has a
stunning ear for the way people actually speak, with pages of
uninterrupted dialogue flashing by with the speed of a radio
play.’
*Church Times*
An engrossing page-turning thriller, propelling the reader through
its multiple twists and turns and keeping one guessing until the
final unpredictable – yet satisfying – denouement.
*Irish Independent*
It’s not often a book keeps me up late three nights in a row, but A
Vicar, Crucified by author Simon Parke kept sleep at bay . . .
where lesser books have failed.
*Simon Jenkins, Ship of Fools*
The characters that Parke pens are convincing, and the dialogue is
rich and entertaining.
