Callie Anson decides to go back to her old theological college for a week long course. Brian - the vicar in her parish - isn't keen on her going because it means he can't get away for a few days but he reluctantly agrees in the end. Then Callie wishes she hadn't decided to go when she learns that her ex-fiancé - Adam - will be there.
Her current boyfriend - Marco - decides not to announce their engagement at his family Easter get together and Callie is feeling just a little insecure. In the meantime Marco Lombardi and Neville Stewart have the murder of a teenage boy to investigate. This is no young tearaway gone off the rails but the only son of two hospital consultants. But was he as well behaved as his parents think he was?
There is plenty going on in this book and each chapter includes most strands of the story which make it seem to rush along at a great rate but it does hold your interest. Has the author tried to pack too much into one book? I did wonder when I realised there were a couple of other sub plots going on too. However I did enjoy it and managed to keep everything straight in my head while I was reading.
If you like your crime stories with a combination of church and police then this series might be a good one to try. This is the fourth book in the Callie Anson series and I think you really need to read them in the order in which they were published to understand the relationships between the series characters.

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.

A murder with a difference
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 4 August 2020Verified Purchase
This book is written brilliantly. The skill of the author is obvious on e dry page. The story, portrayed from the intimate point of view of a number of the main people, meanders along as if the reader was in a boat going along a river with many bends.
It is not a style that this reader appreciates but it is clever and difficult.

Really good pageturning read!
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 3 July 2015Verified Purchase
This is really good! Lots of interesting characters, all believable and about whom I want to know more. The church/theological college background is deftly portrayed, and wincingly familiar! It is the first Kate Charles novel I have read, and I will definitely be reading all the others now.

Murder mystery and love with an incite into the world of religion
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 6 February 2016Verified Purchase
This is the fifth book of Kate Chatles that I have read, 4 about Callie the curate and one that ties up about the archdeacon. I am hooked which is good for someone who is anti religion. It's murder mystery meets, the church and love stories all in one. I will be reading more.

Intreguing and entertaining
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 26 July 2018Verified Purchase
An unusual mix of characters and situations - will.it all fit together or each come to a resolution unconnected . Pebbles in water expand with lots of ripples.
