Publisher's Description

For lovers of classic Agatha Christie mysteries and Jan Karon village characters, this English set mystery is sure to please. Berdie Elliott, the wife of the new parish priest, thought she left her old life as an investigative reporter behind her, but she soon discovers a village full of secrets when a man dies at a Christmas celebration. Could a clue to his demise be hidden in an advent wreath? Can Berdie curb her natural instincts to get involved in both a mystery and a romance, or will she let the local law handle things?

Editorial Reviews

This is a really engaging "cozy" mystery, with likable and interesting characters. I hope we''ll be seeing more of Berdie and her friends and neighbors.

Even with a number of clues, author Marilyn Leach will keep you guessing until the very end.

Wonderful Christmas read. Wonderful cozy mystery. Would immediately buy any book written by this author. Fabulous !!!

...this is a thrilling book to read. There’s a lot of element embedded into this fiction, and I enjoyed it very much. This book have a homey feeling, and it’s one book that you would not want to miss, especially on a rainy day.

Marilyn Leach is a new author to me. So glad I had the opportunity to read her latest book "Advent of a Mystery." This is a lively read with a well thought out plot. The characters are likeable and realistic in their actions. The setting was so clearly discribed that I felt I had been in the small English village myself.

This British mystery, with some of the British local language was quite interesting. It had a surprise ending, which is always great for a mystery.

How fun! I love a good british read and was more than satisfied with this delightful tale. The mystery was just complicated enough (with little twists in the plot) to keep me guessing until the end. This author's character development is great and was woven throughout the book. I will be sharing this book with several friends and will definitely be reading more by this author.
