HAUNTED CHRISTMAS is Book 2 in the Reverend Bernard Paltoquet Supernatural Mystery Series. Set in 1948-1949 in a post-war Britain of austerity, Rev. Paltoquet is in a new posting as Vicar in a London parish, his first, and immediately becomes fast friends with the local doctor, Robbie McTavish, an Edinburgh native. Robbie proves to be psychic, and on a trip to Bergen, Norway, he uncovers a tragic incident. The Bergen thread is indeed tragic, beginning the story and threading through to the conclusion, so if you are especially sensitive, take note.
HAUNTED CHRISTMAS is rather like a return of Agatha Christie, were she to consider penning Paranormals. I know London does not make for a "village cosy," but still this series is rather similar in structure, setting, and character types.
