A Fatal Winter - G.M.Malliet

Out-of-control relatives cause a deadly ruckus in Max's placid parish!

When nearby Chedrow Castle is the scene of suspicious events, former MI5 agent-turned-priest Max Tudor must put aside his job guarding the souls of his small flock and turn his attention to solving a baffling case of murder. A raucous group of long lost, greedy relatives of Lord Footrustle and Lady Baynard have recently arrived at the castle, and each and every one of them could be the killer.

Meanwhile, Max's attraction to a local lady complicates everything as he struggles to pit his own contradictory impulses against the cunning guile of a sophisticated murderer.
