Murder Before Evensong

Canon Daniel Clement's life unravels when his mother, Audrey, arrives unannounced, and one of his parishioners, Anthony Bowness, is found dead.

As the personal threats against him intensify, Clement digs deeper into Anthony's murder, clashing with DS Vanloo, who disagrees with his methods.

When Stella witnesses Champton gamekeeper Edgy near Anthony's murder site, Audrey urges Clement to question the man. Believing Ned killed Anthony out of jealousy, Jane reports him to the police.

Clement believes that Anthony and Ned's murders are connected to wartime secrets, but DS Vanloo disagrees.

Disregarding the bunker evidence, Vanloo makes Edgy's grandson, Nathan, his new prime suspect. Meanwhile, Audrey finds out who has been sending Clement threatening letters.

Keeping his gruesome discovery from Neil, Clement lays a trap for the killer but he is double-crossed. Faced with an ethical dilemma, Clement is forced to examine his own nature.
