Death Makes A Prophet (British Library Crime Classics) by author John Bude

Isn't this a beautiful cover? 

Death Makes A Prophet (British Library Crime Classics) by author John Bude. The book is set circa 1940’s in the Garden City of Welworth. This book is a light and cozy mystery about contention within a religious cult, the Children of Osiris, which follows the doctrines of the Cult of Coo, or Cooism. When you have a community of people who favor the beliefs of the ancient Egyptian gods, you have a mixing pot recipe for power, and deceit…all the ingredients for a murder!
Although I enjoy mysteries set in quaint places and in a former era of time, this story plot seemed a bit slow. There are scenes which were interesting, but a very different pace. I adore the cover art for this book!
