  1. When Reverend Robert Dexter is found murdered in his church in Norfolk, the young pastor of the neighboring parish becomes the prime suspect. Was it not due to his dishonorable relationship with Dexter's daughter Becca that a terrible argument had ensued? However, David Middleton, the young pastor's lawyer, soon discovers that the young clergyman is not the only one with a strong motive for murder. Kate Charles skillfully portrays the facade of a Christian community, revealing its many secrets.

  2. Visiting the quiet cathedral town of Malbury, amateur sleuths Lucy Kingsley and her lover David Middleton-Brown chance to see the fireworks ignited with the arrival of the new Cathedral Dean.

  3. 'A woman priest at St Margaret's? Over my dead body!' 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.

  4. The fifth in the Book of Psalms mysteries. 'Peaceful' is the most common entry in the visitors' book of fifteenth-century St Michael's Church, with its glorious angel roof and its medieval Doom painting. But away from the church, and beneath the idyllic veneer, the tiny Norfolk village of Walston is anything but harmonious.
