Fairfield village's St. Blaise, one of the oldest churches in England, receives a new priest-in-charge just in time to cele brate the long-awaited and much-pre pared-for Feast of St. Blaise. The local gentry's reservations about the suitability of a "city" priest, discovery of a faceless man's body in the woods, subsequent police investigation by Inspector Tansey, arrival/sudden departure of the priest's tart-like "sister," a furtive mismatched love affair, and concern for the church silver allow for several deceptive and entertaining plot twists. Strong rural atmosphere, stock characters, and tricky police work lead to a lengthy, thoroughly satisfying denouement. Recommended.
