“An English village as pretty as Nether Monkslip needs a romantic local
legend—and perhaps a tasteful murder—to entice readers who love a
cozy mystery. G. M. Malliet arranges for both in Pagan Spring, which challenges the Rev. Max Tudor, the resident sleuth in this
charming series, to identify a murderer among his parishioners and
closest friends.”
