When the owner of the only store in a village buys a long-abandoned farm to meet the rising culinary demands of an ever-increasing population of retirees from the city, he gets more than a bargain price. And just what is going on at Sts. Peter and Paul Union Church, the biggest church in the Town of Bickerton, to require an urgent meeting? Is it about the hastily-hired pulpit-pounding new minister? Or something more sinister? His wife doesn"t fit the mold of a preacher"s wife either. Who says small towns are dull? As the one and only police constable in the area, Gussie Spilsbury must get the answers while dealing with her own real-life adventures, including renewing her relationship with her ex-husband, while fighting off the unwanted advances of the local doctor and worrying about the failing health of her incarcerated father. Loaded with spine-tingling mystery, vivid imagery, and crisp dialogue, this story weaves its tale seamlessly and keeps you guessing until the end.
