I'm always on the lookout for a new mystery series, and still trying to decide whether this one is worth a second read. Father Anselm investigates the accusation of sexual abuse of a boy from a prominent local family against a priest from a different order. An interesting and exceedingly complex, convoluted story with a satisfying resolution. I liked the side characters, such as the red-faced and venal Bede, a thorn in Father Anselm's side. I'd like Father Anselm's character to come more clearly into focus to really 'commit' to this one. We'll see.
