Murder in Mallow: A Father Murphy Mystery

Father Murphy, an Irish priest in the city of Mallow, Cork, is the rector of Saint Timothy’s Church contending with much more than the normal pastoral headaches. There is a murder in his church, a recalcitrant vestry that prefers meeting in the local bar, assorted criminals, a wealthy matriarch with her own church agenda, plus an attractive young church administrator who wants Father Murphy married off—to her! Murphy also contends with a police inspector who’d like the priest confined to the church confessional instead of solving crimes.
