Topping’s Book Event – The Reverend Richard Coles

We are thrilled to welcome Reverend Richard Coles back to Ely Cathedral for the sequel to Murder Before Evensong, ‘A Death In The Parish’

Reverend Richard Coles is a beloved writer, broadcaster and an Anglican priest. He co-presents Saturday Live on BBC Radio 4 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 in 2017, he scored a lamentably low mark for a Paso Doble. 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, reflecting on the death of his partner, David Coles.

The first book in the Canon Clement Mystery series, Murder Before Evensong, was an instant number one Sunday Times bestseller and Ely favourite.
