Publisher's Synopsis
December, 1890: eleven days before Christmas, Clarice and her husband, Reverend Dominic Corde, arrive in the idyllic village of Cottisham to watch over the Reverend Wynter's flock while he takes a richly deserved holiday. With its beautiful village green and thatched cottages, Cottisham is a far cry from the bleak London parish they've left behind. But as Dominic sets about trying to make the right impression on his new congregation, Clarice finds she cannot shake the feeling that something is amiss. When a shocking discovery confirms her suspicions, Clarice can't resist trying to get to the bottom of the goings-on - even if it means putting her life in danger.
