A Fatal Advent

A Fatal Event takes place just before Christmas at St. Anselm's, the famous and fashionable Episcopal parish on Manhattan's Upper East Side. The Norwich Boys' Choir from England is expected shortly to join together with St. Anselm's own choir in a festival of Advent music. The rector's Christmas guest, a former dean of St. Paul's in London, has already arrived. Tragically, so has death when the dean's body is found at the foot of the parish house stairs. When another murder takes place a day later, the Reverend Claire Aldinton, St. Anselm's pastoral counselor and self-styled sleuth, is plunged into her most baffling and complex case. It is also the most nerve-racking as more and more, suspicion points to her husband, Brett Cunningham, as the murderer.
