Kate Charles, who was described by the Oxford Times as 'a most English writer', is in fact an expatriate American, though an unashamedly Anglophilic one. She has a special interest and expertise in clerical mysteries, and lectures frequently on crime novels with church backgrounds. Kate lives in Bedford with her husband and their dog, and is a former Chairman of the Crime Writers' Association and the Barbara Pym Society.

To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. Instead, our system considers things like how recent a review is and if the reviewer bought the item on Amazon. It also analyses reviews to verify trustworthiness.
This series is not likely to imrpove; the stories are OK but not particulary gripping and probably best read a while apart. Reading for a cold winter evening rather than something to become engrossed in.
A pleasant read for a Sunday afternoon. Kate Charles lovingly explores the underside of clerical relations and church politics. Set in the 90s, it takes you back to a pre-digital age.
