Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Otis Joy is the handsome young rector of St. Bartholomew's Church in Foxford, England. His bishop has just accused him of embezzling church funds and ordered him to resign. But before that can happen, the bishop commits suicide. How opportune. One sudden death seems to lead to another, but then Otis Joy finds his soul mate.

Review:

"[An] intricate and very funny black comedy . . . Lovesey is a master." (The Washington Post Book World)

Review:

"Lovesey is wickedly clever." (Orlando Sentinel)

Synopsis:

A dark, delicious tale of a popular village cleric who has no conscience.

Stephanie Patterson, April 13, 2008 (view all comments by Stephanie Patterson)
Peter Lovesey is one of the cleverest contemporary British novelists around It happens that he uses his wit in mysteries
In Reaper, he gives us Otis Joy, a charismatic Church of England vicar whose personal coffers fill as his congregation dwindles. A devlish plot and acerbic prose combine to produce a heavenly entertainment Not to be missed.
