A good old-fashioned mystery with an assortment of simple and complex characters. Again I was somewhat surprised I enjoyed it more than I anticipated. While a death was being thoroughly investigated; I was struck by the beauty of the close, as well as the dynamics of the community, the intelligence of many of the characters including the investigators. A few humorous diversions were welcome and appreciated. Novel moved at a good pace, was engaging, and well-written. I would definitely read more of Gilbert's novels. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
It has been more than a year since Cannon Whyte fell 103 feet from the cathedral gallery, yet unease still casts a shadow over the peaceful lives of the Close's inhabitants. In an apparently separate incident, head verger Appledown is being persecuted: a spate of anonymous letters and random acts of vandalism imply that he is inefficient and immoral. But then the notes turn threatening, and when Appledown is found dead, Inspector Hazlerigg is called in. Investigations suggest that someone directly connected to the cathedral is responsible, and it is up to Hazlerigg to get to the heart of the corruption.|It has been more than a year since Cannon Whyte fell 103 feet from the cathedral gallery, yet unease still casts a shadow over the peaceful lives of the Close's inhabitants.

There is a lot of coming and going to Evensong. There is a choir and they are dressing for sessions and then disrobing afterward. There are tea times and there are flower beds. The detectives are going to have a smoke and pull out their papers and go over the case – again.Overall, this is a good read. It is not a story that all readers will enjoy. There is too much detail work, maybe there are just too many characters? ( )
