Faith used to be a policewoman, so she wants to prove her parishioner is innocent.

My thoughts-
The Advent of Murder, by Martha Ockley, kept me guessing until the end. I didn’t have any idea who the murderer was, not even any suspects. I think that is the best kind of mystery, when the reader has no idea who did it.
I have not read the first book in the series, The Reluctant Detective, and it wasn’t necessary to do so to fully enjoy this book. I would like to read the first book though, because I want to know why Vicar Faith Morgan is a vicar and no longer a policewoman. A prologue would have been a great way to learn about her past.
I thought Faith made a great vicar, but with God’s help and I felt, his blessing, she was able to use her detective skills to help the detectives. She was very good at her tasks, which made her a very strong character.
I highly recommend this book to everyone. It was a great book.
