Books like Death Makes a Prophet by John Bude
In the 1940s, Welworth Garden City becomes the backdrop for Inspector Meredith’s most curious case. The town is a hub for free spirits—vegetarians, socialists, and various exotic religious groups—especially the Children of Osiris, led by the eccentric High Prophet Eustace K. Mildmann. Beneath the surface of this forward‑thinking community, petty resentments, jealousy, and hidden secrets stir, ultimately culminating in murder. Meredith uncovers the motives and mechanics of the crime in a narrative that blends mystery, crime, and the peculiar atmosphere of a cult cult following.
