When Rosemary Sheffield suddenly loses her religious faith it is not merely a personal matter for she is the wife of a vicar. And when, on a brief holiday to think things through, she forms a sad but affectionate relationship with a young refugee from the former Yugoslavia, she ensures that the knives will be out for her husband's parish back home in Leeds. For charity is not the order of the day among the parishioners of St Saviour's.
When a body is found after a church fete it is up to DC Charlie Peace and his boss to discover whether Rosemary's spiritual crisis has led to murder, or is it more worldly concerns that lie at the root of the crime...?

Book Description Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. When British policemen Charlie Pearce and Mike Oddie investigate the unsurprising murder of the village parish Lothario, they question Rosemary Sheffield, the vicar's wife. Rosemary, who has recently "lost" her faith and been accused of immoral behavior with a Yugoslavian refugee, makes a perfect suspect. Another winning combination of plot, character, and wit from Barnard. With a satirical eye toward the modern-day Church of England, Barnard once again delivers a delightful mix of enigma and suspense. A storm of controversy erupts when Rosemary Sheffield--the vicar's wife--suddenly announces that she no believes in God. "Barnard at his cozy, comic best".--The Hartford Courant.
