Death of a Liturgist, Paperback/Lorraine V. Murray

Descriere

Description Saint Rita's is a vibrant suburban church whose parishioners like things on the traditional side: old-fashioned hymns from the choir and no-nonsense preaching from the priests, pious devotions in the chapel and warm pastries in the rectory kitchen. All that ends the day the liturgist arrives. He promises to bring the parish "up to date," to get more people to "participate," to make the Mass more appealing to the tastes of modern Catholics. But all he does is make enemies; it seems St. Rita's isn't ready to "sing a new church into being" quite yet. So when the liturgist turns up dead, under violent and mysterious circumstances, everyone is a suspect . . . Death of a Liturgist features the return of Francesca Bibbo, the irrepressible heroine of Death in the Choir. Join her and the rest of Saint Rita's eccentric crew, including Sister Therese, Detective Tony Viscardi, and Ignatius the Hamster (with a little help from the archbishop, too), as they try to solve the mystery-and make Saint Rita's safe for tradition again.
