With too many churches and not enough people to fill them, the Archdiocese has to make some cuts, and many of them, including the proposed closing of St. Hilary's are dangeriously close to the bone. Father dowling rushes to drum up support from church officials and parishioners, including the Deveres, who don't want to see the stained glass windows they donated go anywhere other than the church they were meant for, but they can hardly be of help when those closest to them start turning up dead.--From publisher's description.

The plot is quite convoluted. Since this is the first Father Dowling book I've read, I'm not sure if this is typical of the series. I think the author managed to confuse even the editors, because I'm pretty sure there are a few continuity errors in the book. Some of the early plot threads disappear once the murders occur and the search for the killer takes over. There are an awful lot of characters to keep track of, some of whom serve very little purpose. In spite of these shortcomings, I found it strangely absorbing. I was fascinated by the church politics and theological discussions, maybe because it's so different from my Protestant background. I found more to like than to dislike in the book. ( )
