THE REVEREND RICHARD COLES is a writer, broadcaster and an Anglican priest. He co-presented Saturday Live on BBC Radio 4 for a number of years and appears, from time to time, on QI, Have I Got News For You and Would I Lie To You? He has won Christmas MasterChef, Celebrity Mastermind twice, and captained Leeds to victory in Christmas University Challenge in 2019. A contestant on Strictly Come Dancing (2017) and a third place finalist on I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here! (2024) he exhibits huge bravery.
He writes regularly for the Sunday Times, and is the author of half a dozen books, including a bestselling autobiography, Fathomless Riches, and the bereavement bestseller The Madness of Grief, written after the death of his partner, David Coles. The first three books in the Canon Clement series have all been No.1 Sunday Times bestsellers.
Coles's feline wit and infectious enthusiasm for ecclesiastical trivia make for a very moreish read.
- Jake Kerridge, THE DAILY TELEGRAPH
Written in Coles's customary wry style which owes much to the work of Alan Bennett.
- Geoffrey Wansell, DAILY MAIL
Richard writes beautifully... a delightful piece of detective work set in a religious order. The atmosphere is so intense, you can almost smell the incense on the page.
- Ryan Tubridy, IRISH MAIL ON SUNDAY
A village that could rival Agatha Christie's St Mary Mead and the TV murder hotspot of <i>Midsomer</i> for its ever growing body count
