All the Reverend Francis Oughterard had ever wanted was some peace and quiet, instead he becomes entangled in a nightmare world of accidental murder, predatory female parishioners, officious policemen and a drunken bishop. As the vicar's life spirals out of control it is his supercilious cat, Maurice, and bone obsessed hound, Bouncer, who save the day. A Load of Old Bones is a charming and farcical romp through a 1950's mythical Surrey. Praise for Suzette A. Hill: 'Perfect one-sitting summer read.' Laura Wilson, Guardian 'E F Benson crossed with Jerome K Jerome' The Times audiobooks review 'Quite why this series should be charming, astringent and witty, instead of emetically twee, I am not sure, but it is entirely delightful' Guardian 'This dry, funny British gem, with its eccentric cast of characters, will have readers laughing and eagerly awaiting the next episode' Publishers Weekly

Soft cover. Etat : New. No Jacket. 1st Edition. True first edition of Suzette Hill's debut A Load of Old Bones. Self published in 2005, this was later taken on by Constable and republished in 2007. This self published paperback had a very small print run of 500 copies and probably only a small fraction of these are in collectable condition. This copy is in very fine unread condition, It has been signed, first-lined and dated by Suzette Hill. It has also been signed by the illustrator John Sadler. Only 20 copies have been double signed this way. Only a couple of copies left! SYNOPSIS - Dire doings in the Vicarage! A Load Of Old Bones takes us on a nostalgic romp into a 1950s mythical Surrey, where murky deeds and shady chracters abound and where even the animal population is distinctly bizarre! All the Reverend Francis Oughterard had ever wanted was an easy life and a bit of peace and quiet: instead he is entangled in a nightmare scenario of predatory ladies, officious policemen, odd-ball clerics, wrathful parishioners, and a wayward cat. Whether the Reverend retains his sanity or deserves our sympathy is for the reader to decide . . . This book was self-published in July 2005, and was republished in 2007 by Constable & Robinson in the UK. Very few of this self-published edition were produced, and even fewer remain in collector condition. The books we have are signed and inscribed by the author with the first sentence, "It was bouncer who found the leg!" and dated, "July 2005", the month of publication. .SHIPPED IN A BOX WITH PLENTY OF PROTECTION.
