Description

Life may not be getting any easier for curate Callie Anson, but it is definitely getting more interesting. When a young man goes missing - with a heavily pregnant wife at home - the local police are baffled. Has he run away from his imminent new responsibilities? Or does his disappearance have a more sinister explanation? And just when the police thing theyve solved the mystery, someone else goes missing: a troubled teenager and granddaughter of one of Callies parishioners. An absorbing and show more chilling mystery, Secret Sins explores the power of passion, morality and loss, and the things people do in the name of love. show less

A jogger doesn't come home and his body is found drowned in the canal. A little girl runs away after being bullied by her step-cousins.

Although this is billed as the [[[Callie Anson]]] series, the books are more ensemble pieces, with Callie's colleagues, her police detective love interest, and his colleagues all taking their turns in the spotlight. Although it was only written 15 years ago, its exploration of contemporary issues makes it feel a bit dated but I still enjoyed it.
The ins and outs of the personal relationships are more interesting than the mystery and it is that which makes me interested in the last of the series.
Disappointed, whereas her other bks revolve around COE issues, problems and clergy, this bk is a very run of the mill police procedural alternating with a murder and a missing teenager. Stuff like this is available everywhere.
