England's celebrated, multiple-award-winning master crime novelist returns with a witty and poignant chiller about the evil of gossip and the sin of indifference. Father Christopher Pardoe is a good priest who genuinely cares for his parishioners but is also burdened by human weaknesses. His frequent visits to a young single mother, Julie Norris, raise eyebrows, especially as her bedroom curtains remain closed during these visits. Rumors swirl when it appears Julie may be pregnant again, leading to Father Pardoe's suspension from St. Catherine's. Meanwhile, Cosmo Horrocks, a sensational journalist, seizes the opportunity to exploit the scandal, stirring up a narrative filled with sex and intrigue. As questions arise about Julie's past and her estrangement from her parents, the tension escalates. When murder strikes, Inspector Mike Oddie and Sergeant Charlie Peace uncover raw emotions—hate and fear—beneath the town's surface. The investigation reveals that while there may be one killer, many share in the town's guilt. Rich with eccentric characters, crisp dialogue, and perceptive insights into human nature, this story delves into the complexities of morality and the consequences of indifference.
