The congregation of St. Matthews Anglican Church is rocked by the actions of a small group who want to get rid of the Rector, The Reverend Douglas Forsythe. But when a troublesome woman who was thought to be the leader of this group is murdered, the problems don’t go away; instead they get worse.
Robin Carruthers, church member and owner of Red Robin Flying School, heads another group trying to identify the leader of the antagonists and save the Rector’s reputation. As church treasurer, she also discovers that church funds are disappearing. She has her hands full trying to solve several mysteries in the church, but is not sure she wants to know who killed the troublesome woman. It might be someone she knows and likes.
