It's Christmas in postcard-perfect Guilford, Connecticut, but the season is anything but peaceful. When a church member dies under suspicious circumstances, the minister starts looking for a higher power...
Someone's putting the "con" in congregation...
Psychologist/advice columnist Dr. Rebecca Butterman gets a call in the middle of the night from the minister at her church. He's in custody after going to a parishioiner's home---and finding her freshly dead. The murdered matron was the leader of a search committee charged with finding a new assistant pastor after the previous one left in a rush. Rebecca learns that the committee was divided---Did someone try to eliminate the competition? Now she's putting her analytical skills to work to track the killer, while resisting the urge to break the seventh commandment with a very married detective and praying she's not the next victim.
This was a truly enjoyable read for me. Dr. Rebecca Butterman is an intriguing sleuth who just doesn't listen when told she's O-F-F the case!!! This book shows us that everyone has their secrets, even members of the clergy and those active in church life. We are all human, and all humans have flaws. The *whodunit* remained a mystery to me until the very end and had a very satisfying conclusion. :) 4/5
