Canon Daniel Clement is Rector of Champton. He has been there for eight years, living at the Rectory alongside his widowed mother - opinionated, fearless, ever-so-slightly annoying Audrey - and his two dachshunds, Cosmo and Hilda. When Daniel announces a plan to install a lavatory in church, the parish is suddenly (and unexpectedly) divided: as lines are drawn, long-buried secrets come dangerously close to destroying the apparent calm of the village. And then Anthony Bowness - cousin to Bernard de Floures, patron of Champton - is found dead at the back of the church, stabbed in the neck with a pair of secateurs. As the police moves in and the bodies start piling up, Daniel is the only one who can try and keep his fractured community together... and catch a killer.

Per avvicinarsi all’antica saggezza orientale e alla sua pratica. L’antica cultura indiana considera la sessualità in modo diverso da quello di altre civiltà: il sesso non soltanto è ritenuto esperienza normale e necessaria, ma addirittura ha valore sacro. È per questo che le proposte degli antichi maestri del Tantra Yoga, che innalza l'atto sessuale a ''via per l’illuminazione'', quindi priva di qualsiasi traccia di inibizione o senso di colpa, possono apparire al lettore occidentale come troppo spregiudicate e lontane, inutilizzabili se non a livello di gioco o di curiosità. Ashley Thirleby invita piuttosto a calare alcune tecniche e alcuni rituali del Tantra nella realtà sessuale quotidiana, non solo come fonte di piacere immediato o ricerca mistica, ma come momento di acquisizione di una nuova coscienza del proprio corpo e delle emozioni più profonde.
