Sometimes you read the plot and your first thought is. What was this author smoking when this plot came to them. Sometimes the novel turns out well in that case, sometimes not so well. This one for the most part was one of the good novels.
It's the story of Lonnie Squires, an Episcopal Priest. IT's told from her point of view, first person. She gets an opportunity to further her career in the church when she's brought into reconcile a small town's splintering Episcopal church so that it doesn't cause a stir when a big time businessman who may want to move his company to the small town comes into town.
It's also a mystery about the murder of one of the people who wants to break away from the town's Episcopal church. Now, some of the parts of the mystery were very, very obvious to me (including who did it), but, I have probably read more mysteries than a lot of people.
Also, some of the religious doggerel uttered by the characters really pissed me off, but I'm pretty sure that it was supposed to piss me off, so even as I was annoyed it was a sign of good writing.
It was a well written, interestingly plotted mystery with a little bit of lesbian romance fiction drama in there as well. The first in a serious of Lonnie mysteries. If I can find a copy I definitely would read the second in the series as well.… (más)
