    While the show took a while to get cooking, I'd advise viewers to stick with it – by episode 3, I was totally hooked. .... Make no mistake, the entire cast is phenomenal, but many of the show's standout scenes come courtesy of Daniel and his mother, Audrey.

    His [Matthew Lewis'] chemistry with Amanda Redman, who plays Daniel’s mother, Audrey, is top-notch. .... Their occasionally prickly bond is built from equal parts snarky banter, emotional repression, and affection, resulting in something that feels unlike almost anything else in this genre space at the moment.

    “Murder Before Evensong” has just enough edge — including a zinger of a finale — to keep us hooked.

    Murder Before Evensong is an engaging mystery that builds a world around Canon Daniel Clement as he becomes the sleuthing vicar that will likely solve murders in future series.
