📝 Description: Till Sudden Death Do Us Part (First World Publication)

Simon Green returns with a supernatural mystery featuring his long-running protagonist, Ishmael Jones. The narrative centers on a wedding in rural Yorkshire that is interrupted by the death of the vicar, found hanging from his own bell rope. Robert Bergin, an old friend of Ishmael, reaches out after forty years to seek help regarding an ancient family curse he fears will claim his daughter Gillian’s life during her upcoming nuptials. Ishmael and his partner Penny arrive at the scene with little time before the ceremony. They face a baffling investigation marked by no obvious clues or known motives for the clergyman’s death. Local residents attribute the tragedy to the curse, but Ishmael suspects a human murderer using the legend as a smokescreen. As he works to uncover the truth within hours, he experiences sudden flashes of memory from his time before becoming human. These visions suggest his former self is trying to communicate critical information about the case. This novel suits readers who enjoy urban fantasy mysteries blended with gothic horror elements. It appeals to those familiar with Green’s previous work involving Ishmael Jones and Penny. The story relies on atmospheric tension and supernatural intrigue rather than graphic violence or complex legal procedures. Readers seeking straightforward police procedurals without paranormal components may find the premise less engaging.
