This book follows the book The Martyr's Chapel. It can be read independantly but the characters and person of Father Grif are set up in the first book.I liked this book better than Marty's Chapel. It has more suspense and twists. It was difficult to put down once I got into the book. Father Grif's friend from school is found dead and once again he is pulled into helping to solve the crime.
Book was very interesting. Good characters and plot.
