MURDER BEFORE EVENSONG: Acorn TV

If you're fans of Granchester and Father Brown, you'll want to check out a new series coming to AcornTV on Monday, September 29: Murder Before Evensong. There will be 6 episodes. I haven't seen it yet, but I enjoy religious mystery shows. 

Murder Before Evensong is based on the first novel in the Canon Clement Mysteries, by British author the Reverend Richard Coles, and is set in 1980’s England. Matthew Lewis stars as Canon Daniel Clement, the Rector of Champton, who finds himself unexpectedly entangled in a murder case when a dead body turns up in the church.  

Daniel shares Champton rectory with his widowed mother Audrey (Amanda Redman) – and his two dachshunds, Cosmo and Hilda. When Daniel announces a plan to modernize the church, the parish is suddenly divided. And then a body is found dead at the back of the church. As the police move in and the bodies start piling up, Daniel is the only one who can try and keep his fractured community together… and catch a killer.  

The cast also consists of all your favorite British actors whom have appeared in multiple British mystery shows. Amit Shah as DS Neil Vanloo, Adam Jamesas Bernard De Floures, Meghan Treadway as Honor De Floures, Alexander Delamain as Alex De Floures, Marion Bailey as Kath, Amanda Hadingue as Dora, Tamzin Outhwaite as Stella Harper, Francis Magee as Edgy, and Nina Toussaint-White as Jane Thwaite.
