Evil Intent (Callie Anson)

Evil Intent (Callie Anson)

by KateCharles (Author)

Synopsis

Life in the clergy is quiet, respectful, peaceful - or so Callie Anson believed when she began her new job as curate to Reverend Brian Stanford at All Saints' church in Paddington. Little did she realise just how wrong she could be. After the traumatic end of her relationship with fiance Adam, the last thing Callie needs is any more emotional turmoil. But it seems she is not destined for a quiet life just yet. Knowing that women in the clergy are still looked down upon by some, Callie was prepared to face some criticism. But the deep-seated hatred shown by some of her respected male colleagues particularly Father Adimola takes her by surprise. But when he is found strangled to death and her mentor Frances is accused of the crime, Callie must call upon all her faith to steer her through such troubling and violent times. With DI Stuart Neville and DS Mark Lombardi leading the investigation, it is not long before the ugly truth behind the ecclesiastical facade is chipped away to reveal the hidden secrets of the clergy.

Media Reviews
'It takes someone with the skill of Kate Charles to remind us that murder among the middle classes can be just as chilling and credible as death on the mean streets...the dark secrets of people passionately committed to keeping up appearances produces and intelligent and convincing story. One to hide from the vicar.' Val McDermid
