Product Description

Review

'...writing is tremendous - flowing and amusing and professional.' --Dame Beryl Bainbridge

This is an enchanting tale, beautifully written, full of fun, wit and insight. --The Rev. Alex Wedderspoon, Dean Emeritus of Guildford.


Product Description

Introducing a vicar and his most peculiar cat and dog...All the Reverend Francis Oughterard had ever wanted was some peace and quiet, instead he becomes entangled in a nightmare world of accidental murder, predatory female parishioners, officious policemen and a drunken bishop. As the vicar's life spirals out of control it is his supercilious cat, Maurice, and bone obsessed hound, Bouncer, who save the day. "A Load of Old Bones" is a charming and farcical romp through a 1950's mythical Surrey.

5.0 out of 5 stars Exceedingly clever and witty, 6 Nov 2006
This review is from: A Load of Old Bones: The Curious Exploits of the Reverend Francis Oughterard as Recounted by Himself with Interspersions from His Cat Maurice and His Dog Bouncer (Paperback)
I had never thought that a book with talking animals would be my scene, but this one was so clever and witty that I had to finish it in one (late) night. Without giving away the plot I feel that the ending is an open invite to a sequel...I for one can't wait to get my hands on it.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Load of old Bones, 31 Aug 2005
By Mr Declan Butler (Herefordshire) - See all my reviews
This review is from: A Load of Old Bones: The Curious Exploits of the Reverend Francis Oughterard as Recounted by Himself with Interspersions from His Cat Maurice and His Dog Bouncer (Paperback)
What an amazing read. You are transported back in time, to a time when the Clergy were held in very high esteem, bearing this in mind it is even more nail biting when the police come close to rumbling the Vicar but the author has an uncanny way of unveiling yet another surprise. It has you spellbound and you do not want to put it down! I look forward to the sequel.

5.0 out of 5 stars Holy homicide, 1 Aug 2008
High comedy, subtlety and style, memorable characters, marvellously maintained suspense. Strictly for the sophisticated palate of the connoisseur.
