|summary=According to his parishioners, the Reverend Charles Howard was loved by everyone. Everyone, that is, except the person who murdered him. Was it a simple theft gone wrong, or revenge on the part of one of the vagrants he turned away from the workhouse? Neither theory quite fits the facts, and Murdoch finds himself in some very unpleasant situations as he explores the life of the charismatic cleric.

William Murdoch has at last been promoted to full detective, and continues to solve cases with his usual mix of dogged determination and flair. Toronto at the end of the nineteenth century is marked by a huge divide between the rich and the poor, and the fact that many of the latter group are utterly destitute leads to all manner of crimes, great and small.

There are several books in the series about Detective Murdoch, with more promised. Bookbag particularly enjoyed [[Except the Dying: Murdoch Mysteries by Maureen Jennings|Except the Dying]] about the murder of a maidservant, and [[Let Loose the Dogs: Murdoch Mysteries by Maureen Jennings|Let Loose the Dogs]], in which we learn about the detective's family.
