The book is short but the characters are good and they are all believable. Seems that this series is not very popular in the U.S...I don't know about other countries. My library spent almost three months trying to find it and they finally bought it somewhere used. I can't say the story was very exciting for a murder but that it was readable is the best recommendation I can give it.

"Even before the young choir singer was found dead, rumors about illicit relationships had disrupted the peace at the beautiful Scottish church attended by Dr. Jean Montrose. The body, still warm, was discovered in a sleeping bag near the front pew, and his death looked like a plausible suicide. But Dr. Montrose's instincts told her it was murder -- especially since the pathologist failed to find an obvious cause of death. Now it was up to Perth's Detective Inspector Douglas Niven to do most of the investigating of a bachelor minister and his suspected appetites; the victim's pretty mother and her lover; his doctor father, who was under threat of a malpractice suit; the lovestruck church secretary; and the secretive, foul-tempered organist. And soon Niven had a hunch who did it, but it was Dr. Montrose who uncovered the horrifying truth behind this mysterious death. It took her medical expertise and understanding of human nature to unravel the web of deadly deceit that drove someone to cold-bloode3d murder.

Another tour de force of characterization, and the twisted motives and deductions that the human mind can come up with. A fascinating subplot of faith and the church vs. empirical thought. A page-turner, as usual.

Twisted rumors fly around the church. Interesting trying to sort out the rumors.

Fantastic! This book will make you a mystery lover, if you're not one already. One of the best I've ever read.
