Best book in the series since the first one! We have a intriguing mystery about murdered lady priests, then one of those classic "beautiful young drug addict murdered in a ditch" plots, and more cheating and baby drama (unrelated to the priests or murder). The final tension takes place during a Passion Play! What more can you ask, really. The anti-fat author asides have cooled and I feel desperate for the protagonists to finally get together already, so on to the next.

I am currently compulsively reading this series - they’re just so addictive. As an ex-Catholic I enjoyed all the religious themes in this, a really fascinating mystery where I genuinely suspected everyone but the actual murderer.
The ongoing drama of Ruth and Nelson’s relationship is torture for my romance-loving soul though!

Not my favourite Ruth Galloway, but still worth a read for fans for the series!
