"Written with dry humor and a wickedly accurate portrait of the modern English village, WICKED AUTUMN is a refreshing and fun read for everyone who loves a really good murder."

~ Charles Todd

See the full-size map of Max Tudor's village and read a description
and two chapters of the book that launched the series, WICKED AUTUMN.

The Max Tudor Mysteries

Booklist and Library Journal gave WICKED AUTUMN starred reviews, and Library Journal and the Boston Globe chose it as a Best Mystery of 2011. Charlaine Harris named it an NBC TODAY show Summer Reads Pick and in a 2016 Goodreads newsletter listed the series among her top five favorites.

The second book in the Max Tudor series, A FATAL WINTER, was chosen by Library Journal as a Best Mystery of 2012. Aunt Agatha's bookstore chose it as one of eleven of their favorite Christmas mysteries ever, a list that includes Agatha Christie's HERCULE POIROT'S CHRISTMAS.

Publishers Weekly and Library Journal both gave A FATAL WINTER starred reviews, and Deadly Pleasures magazine added it to its list of best mystery novels of 2012. Here is a link to an excerpt and below is a brief description from the book jacket:

In A Fatal Winter, Max—Anglican priest, former MI5 agent, and village heartthrob—investigates two deaths at Chedrow Castle. But his growing attraction to Awena Owen complicates his case, as does the recent arrival at Chedrow Castle of a raucous group of long-lost, greedy relatives, any one of whom has a motive for murder. With a cozy setting, intricate puzzles, and a handsome vicar doing the sleuthing, the books in this series are destined to become instant classics in the mystery world.

The third Max Tudor is PAGAN SPRING. It received a starred review from Publishers Weekly and it has been nominated for 2014 Agatha and Dilys awards. Many thanks to the New York Times Sunday Book Review and Marilyn Stasio for the lovely endorsement of PAGAN SPRING and the Max Tudor books. Read the full review here.

The fourth Max Tudor appeared October 2014. It is called A DEMON SUMMER. The fifth book is THE HAUNTED SEASON (2016), the sixth is DEVIL'S BREATH (2017), and the seventh is IN PRIOR'S WOOD (2018).
