Though darker in tone and more theological in character, it is an equally engaging read. Isobel Knox is happy and confident in her new job and likes her single life, free as it is from confusing and complicating entanglements. Supressing her emotions and burying painful memories h...

Who will be the next bishop of Lindchester? That's what everyone's been asking since bishop Paul Henderson resigned in haste and a whiff of scandal.

Should Jane renounce her feminist orthodoxy and wed the manly archdeacon? Could Father Ed defy the...
