I generally like "clergy mysteries," but this was not one of my favorites. I will probably read at least one more in the series to see if my suspicions about the author's point of view are correct. A female deacon in the Church of England, who has elected not to pursue ordination, apparently to ease the way for reunion with Rome, ends up at a theological college where the head has died or been killed - no one is quite sure which. Some of the motivations imputed to various characters set off a few alarm bells with me. I won't say any more for fear of spoilers. ( )
