Parson's Pleasure

Rating:
Summary: Reader's Moderate Pleasure
Review: Doran Fairchild, antique dealer, goes away for a few nights with her neighbor, Reverend Rodney Chelmarsh, Vicar of St. Crispin's. The lovers find it difficult to keep the tryst a secret when burglaries, thefts and murders abound.

I enjoyed the Sayers-like references to literature and the Jonathan Gash-like discussion of antiques. However, you should avoid this book if you find it irritating when (1) heroines withhold evidence from the police or (2) heroines, knowing that there is a murderer at large, place themselves in dangerous situations.
