18. Body in the Transept by Jeanne Dams
Sun Sep 4, 2022, 07:18 PM
Sep 2022

An American Widow who moved to England because this is what her recently deceased spouse and she were planning.

It is Christmas Eve, cold and dark and she stumbles on a body of a Canon. And of course she starts asking questions even though she is the foreigner. The small village is a part of the close of a a cathedral and it maintains close ties with a small university nearby.

Many of the activities are influenced by the Catholic schedule of daily events and the hierarchy of the leaders of the Cathedral. I had to look up the meaning of Transept...

Interesting local characters and as with many recent mysteries that I have recently read, the cat Esmeralda, Emmy, plays a role.

Glad that you keep yourself busy and don't have to drag yourself from sick bed.
