    The plotting works nicely, with a tidy list of suspects and some well-paced action. The main disappointment is Canon Clement. He has no discernible personality or character traits.

    Murder Before Evensong joins the ranks of Father Brown, Sister Boniface Mysteries and Grantchester. Unlike its bedfellows, however, this series is not purely escapist and Coles has used the generic framework of cosy crime for his own, more personal purposes. Without Amanda Redman’s Audrey, however, it would be as dry as a Communion wafer.

    He is still essentially a man in a dog collar who is terribly nice in that churchy way and just wants this horrid business to be over. I slightly felt the same about this drama.
