Description

The Honourable Cressida Fawcett is expecting the cathedral crypt to be full of dry old bones. But when she finds a body murdered just moments before, she'll need divine inspiration to solve her most mysterious case yet...

Winchester, 1925. When amateur sleuth Cressida Fawcett is invited to her aunt's mansion on Cloister Close, she is looking forward to a quiet stay in the historic town. The views of the cathedral are heavenly - and her aunt's maid, Nancy, makes devilishly good ginger biscuits! But it seems Cressy and her pug Ruby won't be allowed to rest in peace... On a tour of the crypt, they are shocked to stumble across the body of Anthony, the devoted verger. And Nancy is standing over him, bloodied candlestick in hand...

Since Nancy was caught red-handed, Detective Andrews of Scotland Yard thinks the case is closed. But Nancy swears she would never have killed Anthony; they were in love. But if it wasn't Nancy, then whose soul is full of murder most foul?

Then Cressy discovers that for a man of the cloth, the verger had a surprising number of enemies. Was a local antiques dealer driven to murder over an illegal trade in holy relics? Would the head bellringer kill to achieve his musical ambitions? Or is the saintly Dean hiding a deadly sin?

It seems Cressy will need a miracle to uncover the truth. But then Cressy finds a hidden passageway to the crypt. Is this how the murderer escaped? The police lack faith in her theories, but can she catch the killer and save Nancy from the hangman's noose? Or will she be too late to prevent another funeral march?

A totally gripping and deliciously witty historical murder mystery with a gasp-out-loud reveal, perfect for fans of Agatha Christie, T.E. Kinsey and Lee Strauss.
