![]() ![]() At 684 pages (in the ARC I had) this is not a book to be taken casually. Any selection will do Gnomon a disservice. It’s therefore hard to distil it any further and a review just risks giving a very weak impression of the real thing. Secondly, it’s a very dense book – I don’t mean it’s heavy reading, I mean that the form and content of the book is perfect, the very least it needs to be to do its job, to reshape the reader’s mind and make something new. First, it’s simply got glorious writing, plotting and superb characters. In the case of Gnomon I think there are three reasons for this.

Now, the pressure is on Max to determine who most profited from the deaths of the brother and sister. Soon after his arrival, Lady Baynard’s body is found. It being the holidays, the castle is brimming with familial suspects whose loss will doubtless also be their pecuniary gain. Unfortunately, Max is soon summoned to Chedrow Castle by DCI Cotton, of the Monkslip-super-Mare police, who eagerly seeks Max’s MI5 experience to investigate at the castle when Lady Baynard’s brother and titleholder, Lord Footrustle, is murdered. Traveling back to his home in Nether Monkslip, Anglican priest Max Tudor finds himself stuck in a train compartment with Lady Baynard of Chedrow Castle and having rather unpriestly thoughts of annoyance and impatience. ![]() ![]() Priestly duties fall by the wayside when Max Tudor must investigate what appears to be a murder in an upper-crust family living in a local castle. ![]() ![]() ![]() And/or the voiceyness of Kate Spencer’s In a New York Minute.

Snappy prose and great banter make for a fast read. Ten years later, now divorced Chani who has two books under her belt, is asked to interview him again. Then, the celeb profile she writes about him goes viral, essentially making both their careers. They hit it off and the initial interview extends into an invite to a movie premiere and more.
