Homicide detective Claire Codella takes over a complex case at St. Paul's Episcopal Church, where the senior warden has been found murdered in the church garden after a contentious vestry meeting. This sequel to Forgotten City is a compelling police procedural with a diverse cast. Fans of Julia Spencer-Fleming or David Carlson will appreciate the inside peek at church politics.—LH
