Présentation de l'éditeur

Dolly Topping, head of the national organisation 'Ladies Opposed to Women Priests' and wife of one of the churchwardens, feels that strongly about it. It is unfortunate, therefore, that Father Julian, the well-loved curate of the Pimlico church, should have been killed in a burglary gone wrong. And doubly unfortunate that the Vicar, upwardly-aspiring William Keble Smythe, should choose to appoint a woman to replace him. From the moment that Rachel Nightingale enters the serene Anglo-Catholic world of St Margaret's, tempers and emotions run high; Christian charity is not much in evidence, even among those who espouse it loudly. Then another accidental death unites the parishioners in new heights of hypocrisy, and leaves some crying murder. But David Middleton-Brown is sceptical until he learns about Father Julian's death. With the encouragement of the Archdeacon, David and Lucy Kingsley embark on a search for the truth about the 'dead man out of mind', and discover more than they ever wanted to know about greed, hypocrisy, ambition and the cost of love.

Revue de presse

'Bless her for elevating our spirits with this unorthodox work.' --- The New York Times Book Review

'If the summer holidays can t be enhanced by a spot of light sleuthing against an ecclesiastical setting, it's a poor lookout . . . All very satisfactory!' --Methodist Recorder

'The plot is absolutely gripping, and what s more, a few of the characters actually display Christian charity.' --Church Times

'The modern ecclesiastical mystery . . . is a fast-growing sub-group of whodunnitry; no one is more skilled at it than Kate Charles. With the lightest of touches, she weaves the goriest murders into a convincing and provocative backdrop of clerical politics. Thoroughly entertaining, even to those of no religious bent.' --The Times
