The New Rector
The New Rector | Rebecca Shaw
7 posts | 4 read | 4 to read
The first Turnham Malpas novel from bestselling author Rebecca Shaw. When Peter Harris arrives in Turnham Malpas as the new rector, he finds the village people welcoming but set in their ways. Yet despite his own weaknesses, and the sadness of his childless wife, he comforts and advises his new parishioners, growing more and more involved with the rural way of life. Then the whole village is rocked by spiteful trick that goes terribly wrong, and a gruesome murder that points to a killer in its midst. Now, more than ever, Peter's pastoral role is crucial - and yet he is wrestling with his own private hell that may still wreck his own life.

11/225 Restarted this series as am reading with @Tove_Reads and @EadieB Six years since I read this first one and had forgotten some of the details. Really loved this book and kept me wanting to read on and on. A lot goes on in this village. If you are looking for a series about village life with plenty of action and great characters I would definitely recommend this. Love the map of the village. #SeriesLove2023 @TheSpineView

Started the first book in the Tales from Turnham Malpas Series, which I am reading along with @EadieB @Tove_Reads It‘s also one of my #SeriesLove2023 Series. @TheSpineView

I read this first book over six years but never took the series forward, so am re-reading this one first to remind myself who is who.

Tove_Reads So many people in this short book, so smart move. 1y
EadieB Read this last month but need to read 2nd book! 1y
Andrew65 @Tove_Reads Aiming to read the first two, one after the other, to really get into the series. Finished the first chapter last night and already so many introduced and trying to locate them to where they live. Thankfully it has a map in the front. 1y

A very enjoyable read about a village with extremely quirky people. There is so much going on in this book, and at times I had a hard time keeping up with all the people. I was most definitely not expecting murder, but that happened as well! Can‘t wait to continue with this series!

EadieB Good review! 2y
Andrew65 An enjoyable book. 1y

The New Rector introduces Peter and his wife Caroline to the village. Peter is the new rector. He is young, vigorous and very handsome. The problems of the village become his concern and one in particular as the newly widowed Suzy Meadows turns to him for comfort.

EadieB This was a very enjoyable read about all the characters in a small English village. There are lots of problems with the people who live here and the rector helps solve some of the problems but some of the problems are concerned with him and his wife. If you enjoy reading about small English villages then you will love this book. I'm looking forward to the next book in this series as it picks up right where the last book left off (edited) 2y
Tove_Reads There is indeed a lot going on in this village! 2y
EadieB @Tove_Reads Yes there is a lot going on! I enjoyed this book! 2y
TheAromaofBooks Woohoo!!! 2y

The five books I am planning on reading next week. Rebecca Shaw and Rhys Dylan are buddy reads, Peter Hain an arc, Merkel book club, and Chris Carter is the latest in one of the best thriller series ever. Should be a great reading week! 💕

Tove_Reads @eadieb Maybe someone else wants to join us? 2y
EadieB @Tove_Reads the more, the merrier! 2y
Tove_Reads @eadieb I think they are fairly easy reads, short, quirky village people. What‘s not to like? 2y
Andrew65 @Tove_Reads @Eadieb I actually spent a few years collecting all of this series but so far have only read the first one I think and a book much later in the series. Certainly would be up for reading them. 2y
Tove_Reads @andrew65 👍🏽 2y
Tove_Reads So, when do we start reading? @Andrew65 @EadieB 2y
EadieB Whenever I have them too! 2y

Tove_Reads @eadieb Internet Archieve has all of them! 2y
EadieB @Tove_Reads I also found another 3 books The Village Show, Village Secrets and Scandal in the Village. 2y
Tove_Reads @andrew65 are you going to reread the first one? The series has 19 books 💕 Ok, next week it is then! @EadieB 2y
EadieB @Tove_Reads @Andrew65 Ok next week is fine for the 1st book! 2y
