If you've never read any of [Loveseys] 20-plus books, this wickedly clever, beautifully written story of a murderous clergyman who earns our sympathy while dramatically whittling down his flock should make you an instant convert.-Chicago TribuneAfter years spent saving souls, Otis Joy, the rector of St. Bartholomews Church in Foxford, Wiltshire, has found a new calling: ending lives. His young French wife? Anaphylactic shock, what a shame. The bishop? Fell into a quarry. Tragic. Its not Joys fault, really-not that hes concerned about repentance or absolution these days. He just doesnt want his other little secret-embezzling church funds to finance a fancy yacht-to be discovered. But when the husband of the new church secretary, Rachel Jansen, turns up dead, it isnt long before the village starts to gossip and the local constable gets involved. As it turns out, God isnt the only one whos always watching.
