Bury the Bishop

This is a very good first book in a series.

Mother Lavinia Grey is an relatively new Episcopalian Priest at a very small parish in a very small town in New Jersey. There are forces at work in the church politics that want to close her church and move her parishioners to a near-by town. While she is busy trying to save her church the Bishop is killed.

Lavinia soon comes under suspicion as the killer, partly because she found the body and partly because of her push to save her church.

There is an interesting cast of supporting characters such as a depressed woman, a socially awkward and sometimes depressed young man and a good looking cop.

I didn't figure out the mystery in this one, but really enjoyed the ride.

I'm coming late to this show more series so there are several books to read, and I'll be reading more of them as I find the time. show less
