His young French wife? Anaphylactic shock, what a shame. The bishop? Fell into a quarry. Tragic. It's not Joy's fault, really--not that he's concerned about repentance or absolution these days. He just doesn't want his other little secret--embezzling church funds to finance a fancy yacht--to be discovered. But when the husband of the new church secretary, Rachel Jansen, turns up dead, it isn't long before the village starts to gossip and the local constable gets involved. As it turns out, God isn't the only one who's always watching.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Soho Crime\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/01\/2003\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781569473085\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 320\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.65lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.55h x 5.06w x 0.71d","brand":"Peter Lovesey","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44848914268341,"sku":"9781569473085","price":14.41,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_20b12388-d976-4b9f-9d0d-f56e087ee6ff.jpg?v=1732634256","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/the-reaper-9781569473085","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
