Godfellas

Such a fun, indulgent read… I couldnt put it down Sophie Hannah

Utterly charming, warmly humorous, and immaculately written... If ever there was a murder mystery that felt both classic and fresh, this one is it Kristen Perrin

Compelling characters and a juicy whodunnit too – what more can you ask for?! Whyte is in divine form Jonathan Whitelaw

Clever, warm-hearted and beautifully written, Godfellas kept me guessing – and smiling – from first page to last Orland Murrin

Newly ordained priest Matthew Linley is excited to take up the position of curate in a seemingly perfect parish, but his fresh start is ruined when he finds a dead body his first night in town.

What was presumed to be an accident is soon proved to be murder, and as the victims double life is exposed, Matthews own past catches up to him. He finds himself under suspicion from the police and under pressure from his new boss, Reverend Frank Maguire, who is not all he appears to be. Reverend Maguire oversees more than Sunday services and before long, Matthew is mixed up in a series of bizarre criminal schemes – all run by Frank and his aging flock.

As the police close in, Matthew may very well have to commit a crime and solve one if hes to hang on to his new life. But is it truly possible to shepherd a flock while also flouting the law?
