2002. DCI Henry Hood and his team are called in to investigate when the body of Benedictine monk Father Dominic Renville is discovered in a priest-hole at Eaton Grange. Home of Sir Robert Southall, and a former Augustinian Priory. What could the possible motive be.
An entertaining and interesting police procedural told in great depth.

In 2002 a priest hole has been found on an estate that originated as a monastery, but was transferred to private ownership under Henry VIII's program of dissolution spearheaded by Thomas Cromwell. The estate's history includes a tale of a lost treasure, a chalice originally kept in Glastonbury Abbey.
For me, the central delight of this mystery was its religious context, both during the dissolution and more recent times. Faith—or lack of faith—provides a number of possible motivations for the murder.
If you enjoy substantial mystery novels in which solving a crime takes time and many leads need to be pursued and re-pursued you will find When Supper Was Ended a delight.
