St Abra’s church is harbouring a dark secret. Several elderly parishioners have been found dead in the church’s confessions booth, all appearing to have suffered fatal heart attacks.
But when another, much younger body is discovered in exactly the same way, Detective Sergeant Blake Harte must investigate how it is possible for the confessions booth to be killing off its occupants. Dark forces are at play, forcing Blake to believe it’s more than just tragic coincidence.
Are the deaths a punishment for the sins confessed, or are there ulterior motives in play? In a race against the clock, only Blake can discover the long-kept secrets and lies hiding in the shadows before they tear apart the sleepy village of Harmschapel.
P good. Solution to the puzzle of heart attacks in a confessional was solid and clever, but missing a few details, and the killer was dead obvious based on certain expectations you have going into the series. I’ve heard the third book is way better though so whatever.
I would have liked to see more from a certain backstory character, as they sounded very interesting.
