Ruth Dudley. Murder in a Cathedral (1998)

     Ruth Dudley Edward. Murder in a Cathedral (1998) Blurbed as “Ebullient ... stylishly written, funny, and sometimes touching”, this potboiler is anything but. I started it some months ago, laid it aside as boring, took it up again, and finished it. The only draw was the plot: who would be killed, and why? As it turns out, the first corpse is a suicide, the rest are murder victims. The murderers are a couple of sex-obsessed, fundamentalist, wannabe televangelists, but they don’t get much on-time, so that the solution is more than a bit of a cheat. Not a keeper. (2004)
