Anybody who likes a good plot-driven murder mystery with lots of interesting characters, local color and even some satire on the vicissitudes of modern life need look no further.  There isn’t enough of this sort of thing being published - not quite cozy, but with an amateur sleuth and all the other items listed above.  Suzy juggles her busy job (about which we hear very little), children and love life with solving yet another crime and getting to know some more local people.  The story is not told solely from her point of view, as we have several other characters including sad frumpy Alex and talented teenager Tom to eavesdrop on, and see things from their angle.  It works well done this way, as does the added dimension of the Norbridge Abbey Chorus and various facts about the Church of England religion.  This is not an inspirational novel however, and the concerns are more for aspects such as high versus low church practices, psalms, and musical history.  I am not making this sound interesting but it is, and all packed into an enviably well-paced and busy book.  Not quite Phil Rickman - although if you are keen on his work you will probably also enjoy this, more akin to Caroline Graham’s series (the books, not the TV series I hasten to add).  If you like these, this is also going to appeal to you.
