About this audiobook
A murder in a quiet village forces a complacent curate to reexamine his beliefs and his role in the community. Thomas Wingfold’s search for the killer becomes a parallel search for a faith that can withstand the darkness of reality. A tense and thoughtful blend of psychological mystery and spiritual awakening.
