Evil Angels Among Them — Kate Charles

In Walston things are anything but tranquil, but greater shocks are yet to come...

`Peaceful' is the most common entry in the visitors' book at fifteenth-century St Michael's Church, with its glorious angel roof and its medieval Doom painting. But away from the church, and beneath the idyllic veneer, the tiny Norfolk village of Walston is anything but harmonious.

The Rector's new bride, Becca Thorncroft, is receiving calls so unpleasant that her very sanity is at stake; and the newest residents of Walston -- Gillian English and Lou Sutherland -- are not exactly welcomed with open arms. Then sudden, gruesome death shatters any remaining semblance of serenity.

Fortunately for Father Stephen Thorncroft, he is able to enlist the help of his friends Lucy Kingsley and David Middleton-Brown to unravel the tangled relationships and uncover the dark motivations of the villagers. As the investigation proceeds they stumble on more than they'd bargained for. But it's not until a little girl goes missing from among the parishioners that the final, deadly pieces fall into place -- concluding the search for the evil angels among them.
