The title was a grabber for anyone who has read through as many hymnals as many times as I have. The main character is appealing. She is an episcopal priest who is a retired army warrant officer. There is quite a lot of play on the fact that she grew up in the south and has now sought out a position in small town New York. She becomes friends with the local police chief, also an army retiree, and much is made of the sexual tension between them. He, uncharacteristically, is married and happily so.
The story centers on a foundling infant which is left on the steps of Clare's church. It only closes after two murders, a couple of attempted murders, and a suicide.
The next one (also on this month's under $4 list) is called A Fountain Filled With Blood. How can I resist? And how long can she keep this hymn thing going on.
