Product Description

Review

"'It takes someone with the skill of Kate Charles to remind us that murder among the middle classes can be just as chilling and credible as death on the mean streets...the dark secrets of people passionately committed to keeping up appearances produces and intelligent and convincing story. One to hide from the vicar.' Val McDermid"


Product Description

Life in the clergy is quiet, respectful, peaceful - or so Callie Anson believed when she began her new job as curate to Reverend Brian Stanford at All Saints' church in Paddington. Little did she realise just how wrong she could be. After the traumatic end of her relationship with fiance Adam, the last thing Callie needs is any more emotional turmoil. But it seems she is not destined for a quiet life just yet. Knowing that women in the clergy are still looked down upon by some, Callie was prepared to face some criticism. But the deep-seated hatred shown by some of her respected male colleagues particularly Father Adimola takes her by surprise. But when he is found strangled to death and her mentor Frances is accused of the crime, Callie must call upon all her faith to steer her through such troubling and violent times. With DI Stuart Neville and DS Mark Lombardi leading the investigation, it is not long before the ugly truth behind the ecclesiastical facade is chipped away to reveal the hidden secrets of the clergy.

5.0 out of 5 stars EVIL INTENT, 8 May 2005
By A Customer
This review is from: Evil Intent (Hardcover)
I am not a fan of crime fiction and not a church-goer but was recommended to read Evil Intent and was immediately struck by the roundness and plausibility of the characters and by the handling of the ecclesiatical themes. Without ever feeling I was being manipulated by the author, I nevertheless found myself turning pages, eager to know how things would turn out for each of her human creations and I became intrigued with the unfamiliar (to me) accounts of conflicting factions within the Church of England. The ecclesiastical scenario might easily have suggested stereotypical characters and events: Kate Charles succeeds in going beyond the stereotypes and in creating a convincing, living chunk of current Anglican life. And, yes, I was caught out at several turns when I thought I'd guessed who had done it. This is my first Kate Charles and I am looking forward to reading more.

5.0 out of 5 stars Extremes that touch us, 11 May 2005
By A Customer
This review is from: Evil Intent (Hardcover)
Kate Charles'study of the tensions within the church and within society continues in 'Evil Intent'as she explores the issue of spiritual and moral authority: who holds it, who opposes it and what underlies the strong feelings about leadership by women and gay clergy. She symbolises this, as ever, by means of a murder story. So who, amongst these liberal and conservative holy people, is really dangerous? And is that relevant, as well as being a good read? Yes, I think it is. Religion is significant in political agendas and has its own form of politics that can be just as dirty. Kate Charles heightens the contrasts to show something real, and is clever enough to keep us questioning our own sympathies and assumptions.

5.0 out of 5 stars We should have bought two copies!, 9 May 2005
This review is from: Evil Intent (Hardcover)
My wife and I made the mistake of starting the book at the same time. We didn't want to put it down, but had to - to let each other read it. My wife has read Kate Charles before, but this was a first for me. We agreed that the plot was well constructed, and it kept us guessing (wrongly) to the grisly end. The characters were well rounded and believable, without being caricatures. Not least, it was a novel that made us think more about the issues facing today's Church, without preaching to us!
