A Very Private Grave (The Monastery Murders)
Like a P. D. James novelA Very Private Graveoccupies a learned territory.  Also a beautifully described corner of England, that of the Northumbrian coast where St. Cuthbert's Christianity retains its powerful presence.  Where myth and holiness, wild nature and tourism, art and prayer run in parallel, and capture the imagination still. (Ronald Blythe 2010-06-10)"A compelling thriller, as well as a masterful mystery, the mental gymnastics will have you breathlessly soaking in British and church history as you puzzle through a satisfying spiritual adventure with romantic, quirky characters. Anglophiles and history buffs will love it." (Church Libraries Journal2011-01-01)
