The Snares of Death by Kate Charles
The second in the much-loved Book of Psalms mysteries.
The writing is elegant. . to match the apparently normal little English town beneath which lurks the kind of emotion that stirred murder throughout the works of Agatha Christie. * Sunday Telegraph *
There is real tenderness . . . in her detailed portraits of the faithful, from the sensitive student of church architecture who functions as sleuth to the dear old church biddies who arrange the flowers and spread the gossip with as much relish as the witches in Macbeth. * The Sunday New York Times Book Review *
Charles deftly mixes religious rites and politics with her own insight into human behavior. Discerning mystery readers pray for good books like this one. * Orlando Sentinel *

She has a special interest and expertise in clerical mysteries, and lectures frequently on crime novels with church backgrounds. Kate lives in Ludlow with her husband and their dog, and is a former Chairman of the Crime Writers’ Association and the Barbara Pym Society.
