This is one the three books I bought from the 3 books for £5 shelves in The Works discount bookshop at the McArthur Glen Designer Outlets during a trip to York today. I chose it because I've already read several mysteries featuring the investigative skills of Lord Francis Powerscourt - but not yet this one!

From Google Overview: "People will kill for a desirable address...
When the Bishop of Lynchester visits Lord Francis Powerscourt at home in London, seeking advice about the death of an aged parishioner, Powerscourt advises that discretion rather than accusation is the best way forward - but this is just the start of his association with the diocese of Lynchester.
The parishioner's death has left available a property in the cathedral close which the church traditionally rents out to a suitable tenant. Four worthy candidates are nominated . . . and then one of them is found dead in the house, poisoned by strychnine. This time there is no doubt of foul play, and Powerscourt is once again summoned by the bishop.
But there are many potential suspects and Powerscourt's investigations lead him to uncover a trail of greed, deception and death which goes straight to the heart of the cathedral itself."

Another entertaining mystery from an entertaining series. I've not read any for ages, had forgotten how much I enjoyed them, will have to remedy that . . . .
But I did wonder why one of the victims was smothered on p242 and strangled on p243, the second method of dispatch being confirmed on p298?

On its way to a BookCrossing friend who also appreciates a good entertaining mystery! Enjoy!

Thank you Nu-Knees. Arrived safely yesterday. I thought I was making progress on clearing my Nu-Knees TBR shelf but .......I'm not complaining mind you!

Very enjoyable read. You were right about the strangling and smothering mix up Nu-Knees and there was also an incident when we find Powerscourt starting to interview a suspect, when it was actually the inspector doing the the job. In this book we even get to chase the London train in a Rolls Royce. What more could I want?

Travelling in a box of books for mutual Bookcrossing friend.
