Preaching to the Corpse — Roberta Isleib

It's Christmas in postcard perfect Guilford, Connecticut, but the season is anything but peaceful. When a church member dies under suspicious circumstances, the minister starts looking for a higher power...

Someone's putting the "con" in congregation...

Psychologist/advice columnist Dr. Rebecca Butterman gets a call in the middle of the night from the minister at her church. He's in custody after going to a parishioner's home--and finding her freshly dead. The murdered matron was the leader of a search committee charged with finding a new assistant pastor after the previous one left in a rush. Rebecca learns that the committee was divided--Did someone try to eliminate the competition? Now she's putting her analytical skills to work to track the killer, while resisting the urge to break the seventh commandment with a very married detective and praying she's not the next victim.
