The strength of this book is in the relationships that develop among the strong characters involved. The setting of the novel is a fictional English cathedral and the residents of the Cathedral Close. A new Dean is appointed to the Cathedral and he is obviously in the church to advance himself and his family in English society. He arrives with a bad attitude and lots of plans to completely change the lives of the clergy and the laity involved with the Cathedral. A very interesting look at the politics involved in the Anglican Church. I thought that the "mystery" was the weakest part of the book. Easy to figure out and I was somewhat annoyed that the main characters didn't catch on earlier. But that was a minor blip in an otherwise very satisfying read. I will be looking for other Kate Charles books.
