Publishers Note: A dark, delicious crime story from an award-winning author.Otis Joy is the popular and handsome young rector of St. Bartholomews Church in Foxford, Wiltshire, England. His bishop has just accused him of embezzling church funds and ordered him to resign. But before that can happen, the bishop commits suicide. How opportune. One sudden death seems to lead to another. But then Otis Joy finds his soul mate.
