A cloud of witnesses - emily hanlon

Life at Saint John of the Cross Parish in Pequot Bays should have returned to normal after one of its priests was cleared of murdering a parishioner and the true killer put behind bars.

But a troublesome new group called Dies Irae has moved in, led by the fire-and-brimstone Father Thaddeus.

When one of its devoted followers dies under suspicious circumstances, Father Seamus enlists Martha Collins to help him oust Father Thaddeus from the parish.

But when a second member of Dies Irae dies, the Purple Pest detective, Marya Cook, shuffles back into action.

Can Marya unmask another murderer before he or she strikes again-or will Martha become the next victim? In this sequel to Emily Hanlons phenomenal debut, Who Am I to Judge? , the scatterbrained octogenarian sleuth, Marya, and her sensible sidekick, Martha, are back in action with new twists and turns, an assortment of scheming suspects, and of course, plenty of purple-penned notecards.
