What this book is about
When a parishioner is found dead in the run-up to Christmas, a local vicar finds himself entangled in a murder investigation that threatens to shatter the seasonal peace of his small English community. As he probes beneath the surface of familiar faces, he discovers that not everyone's goodwill extends as far as it appears. A traditional British mystery with a clerical detective, gentle pacing, and a satisfying puzzle at its heart.
