Mystery
Life in the clergy is quiet, respectful, peaceful -- or so
Callie Anson believes when she begins her new job as curate
to the Reverend Brian Stanford at All Saints' Church in
Paddington. Little does she realise how wrong she could be. After the traumatic end of her relationship with fiancé
Adam, the last thing Callie needs is any more emotional
turmoil. But it seems she is not destined for a quiet life
just yet. Knowing that women in the clergy are still
disapproved of in certain quarters, Callie is prepared to
face some criticism. But the deep-seated hatred shown by
some of her respected male colleagues takes her by
surprise -- particularly the spiteful attack made by Father
Jonah Adimola, a hard-line conservative Nigerian priest.
Luckily, however, her good friend and mentor Frances Cherry
is on hand to jump to her defence. But when Father Adimola
is found strangled to death the next day and Frances is
suspected of the crime, Callie must call upon her faith to
steer her through the troubling and violent times ahead and
help prove her friend's innocence. With DI Neville Stewart
heading the investigation, it is not long before the
ecclesiastical façade is chipped away to reveal the ugly
truth of the hidden secrets of the clergy.
