Unnervingly, he looks just like the portrait of the crucified Christ which hangs in the church. The mystery of the visitor’s identity is solved quite early on, but the story surrounding him will have significant effects on several people in the small town of Penford.
This book was the first of Chick Yuill’s that I read, and I was totally mesmerized by the story. It’s one of those rare books which is genuinely un-put-downable.
Yet this is not a ‘fluffy’ easy read. It’s a hard hitting novel which addresses some very serious issues head on, and doesn’t flinch away from demonstrating that actions have consequences.
For anyone who likes a powerfully written, compelling novel which deals with real, down to earth issues, I heartily recommend this. Bex Lewis says that it’s “A page turner of a novel that I read in a single evening.” She’s absolutely right. The Man Who Broke Into St Peter’s well deserved its place as a shortlisted title for the CRT Fiction Book of the Year 2019.
