Third in the series. I'd forgotten the whole anti-vaxx thing in this book from the first time I read it, so when that started I thought to myself, oh no, I just can't... But I went on. I ended up liking the mystery very much, with a long-ago disappearance linked to a new case, and interspersing the narrative from the two time periods was good. The Reverend, though - boy she sure spends an awful lot of time doing things unrelated to her parish duties, doesn't she? I get the whole ministering to those most in need, but I guess the congregation is small enough she has a lot of time on her hands? Well anyway, she's definitely a thrill-seeker and taking tea with prospective donors has to be boring. I know a lot of readers object to the emotional adultery going on between the sheriff and the reverend, but I think it's kind of interesting with these two, whose public roles are supposed to be paragons of virtue, getting involved. As usual the two are trapped in peril at the end while the villain scampers off, but of course they escape and justice is done.
