Synopsis

A man's body is discovered in a church yard, the sign of the cross carved into his abdomen. Later he is found to be Alan Jacobs, a troubled psychiatric nurse. It seems to Jenny Cooper, Severn Vale District Coroner, this is likely to be an open and shut suicide case, but something tells her to probe a little deeper. After another tragic death, Jenny's suspicions turn toward a powerful new global phenomenon: the politically ambitious and intoxicatingly charismatic Mission Church of God. Meanwhile Jenny must finally confront the demons of her past, and as her private life threatens to shatter, she faces intense pressure from all angles to cease her investigations. But to Jenny Cooper, whose whole life has been governed by deception, the truth is everything.

Coroner Jenny Cooper gets caught up in her past. Not only through nightmares but also physically and understanding, she has to realize that there is a dark secret from her past that her brain is trying to repress. This does not make the investigation of various current deaths easy. On the contrary,......more

Goodreads review by Linda on October 06, 2016

I'm a huge fan of M.R. Hall's Jenny Cooper "The Coroner" series, and this third book definitely doesn't disappoint. Jenny is investigating three deaths - one murder, two suicides - which on their own seem unrelated, but the fact that all three people were members of a new evangelical church, and in......more

Goodreads review by Rosa on April 18, 2013

This should have had a higher rating. The writing is good but there are fundamental flaws in the plot. There are references to characters out of nowhere, so unless the book is a follow on it makes absolutely no sense . Even then we should except some info or backstory to bring new readers up to date......more

Goodreads review by Rhiannon on December 29, 2019

I think I read this a bit too quickly for my own good and lost track of some of the characters, the lawyers especially. I was pleased that Jenny uncovered her blocked childhood memories as drawing that storyline out further would have been annoying. I didn't like the way that the final revelations i......more
