Intro:<\/strong><\/p>\n Introducing Father Tom Christmas, the wise, warmhearted new vicar of a picturesque English village that seems to be a haven of peace. But appearances can be very deceiving. . . <\/p>\n Thornford Regis has never been lovelier: larks on the wing, lilacs in bloom, and the May Fayre in full swing. But inside the empty village hall, the huge Japanese o-daiko<\/i> drum that\u2019s featured in the festivities has been viciously sliced open – and curled up inside is the bludgeoned body of Sybella Parry, the beautiful nineteen-year-old daughter of the choir director.<\/p>\n That she was too young to die, everyone agrees. But did Sybella’s apparent affinity for Goth and the black arts, and her rumored drug use, attract a shady element that led to her distressing demise?<\/p>\n Father Tom Christmas, still haunted by the tragedy that has left him a widower and his nine-year-old daughter motherless, soon realizes that this idyllic village is not the refuge he’d hoped for. He also comes to a disturbing conclusion: Sybella’s killer must be one of his parishioners. No one is above suspicion – not Sebastian John, Father Tom’s deeply reserved verger, nor Mitsuko Drewe, a local artist, nor irritable Colonel Northmore, survivor of a World War II prison camp. One by one, infidelity, theft, and intrigue are exposed. And over all, like an approaching storm, hangs the long-unsolved mystery of a sudden disappearance, one that brought Father Tom to a picture-perfect place to live – or die.<\/p>\n Smart, funny, edgy, and packing a terrific emotional charge, Twelve Drummers Drumming<\/i> is a brilliant launch for C.C. Benison’s series starring Father Tom Christmas, an appealing new detective on the mystery scene.<\/p>\n From the Hardcover edition.<\/i>. First published January 1, 2011. Original format: Hardcover.
