Not what I was expecting from an inspector Campion mystery, which shows my ignorance. I thought it would be twee, polite and murder at the vicarage, but it was a lot darker, set post-war and not a whodunnit at all - but rather a clash between good and evil personified by a priest and an escaped convict. So not the cosy crime caper I expected, and at the time it must have been a shocker, but it seems dated now when we are so used to the darkness of Scandi Noir and its many cousins. January seems to be going on forever, I can't wait for Spring. i had my first 'well man' check up last week as I am getting on now. Waiting for the results of some tests still, but generally they seems happy with my health and fitness and reassured me about my hips and any chance of developing dementia, so it was worth it for peace of mind.
