Review:
The Reaper is a chilling tale of murder amidst the tea and cakes of the Wiltshire countryside. Villagers in Foxford are shaken by the news of their bishop's unexpected "suicide" in a "leap of shame" following revelations linking him with a certain Madam Swish.
Review:
Luckily, the brilliantly named Reverend Otis Joy "young, still in his twenties, and wicked" is on hand to deliver a few well-chosen words to the mourners. Foxford's female parishioners are thoroughly charmed by Joy who bears more than a passing resemblance to "the young Harrison Ford". Unfortunately, the reverend is unquestionably wicked. He dispatches his victims with casual aplomb and, for a man with a calling, shows a surprising lack of remorse "after a wedding rehearsal in the church--but before the rigor mortis set in--Joy returned to the rectory, his pastoral duties over for the day". Initially at least he is above suspicion, after all "nobody expects the priest to slip them poison in the communion wine". However, a second untimely death sets the village rumour mill in motion. Tension rises as more deaths follow.
The Reaper is a clever and engrossing thriller which proves once again that Peter Lovesey is worthy of his Cartier diamond dagger award. --Sarah Crawford
Larky and deft; very funny, too. (LITERARY REVIEW)
No one has done this kind of thing better since Dorothy L. Sayers (MAIL ON SUNDAY)
One of the very best of the current generation of crime writers (EVENING STANDARD)
Satisfyingly complex and suspenseful. (DAILY MAIL)
