This one was quite interesting. I didn't pick the murderer before the ending which is usually an indication that the writing is good. This book starts with Mackensie Smith, former criminal lawyer and present law professor, getting married to his long-time companion, Annabel Reed. The marriage takes place in the National Cathedral in Washington and is performed by the very handsome Reverend Paul Singletary. Shortly after the wedding the Reverend is found dead in the Cathedral by blunt force trauma to his head. Mac is requested by the Bishop, George St. James, to unofficially investigate and be prepared to assist if it turns out the murder was committed by a member of the Cathedral's staff. Mac even carries the investigation over to London on their honeymoon. While staying out in the country he even encounters a dead body himself and Annabel is almost run down by a horsewoman. The story continues back in Washington where it seems almost everyone has something to hide. One of the boys from the choir is hiding something and even runs away from home. It all comes to a conclusion on a stormy autumn night. murder of 2 priests, nice Wash scene + countryside in England. Lawyer at Georgetown + wife - art collector Newlyweds Mac Smith & Annabel Reed find themselves caught up in two remarkably similar murders: one in Washington D.C.'s glorious National Cathedral & the other in a village church in England's Cotswold region. aucune critique | ajouter une critique

A pesar de sus reticencias, Mack Smith se ve obligado a intervenir en el caso por amistad: Singletary había oficiado, poco antes de su muerte, el matrimonio de Smith.
En su investigación, éste logra descubrir dos importantes derivaciones: la primera, que Singletary era un verdadero Don Juan; la segunda, que la organización pacifista de la que era activo miembro presentaba muchos puntis oscuros.
