The Coldest Shoulder

Summer on a Minnesota island was supposed to be full of poetry and peace, but for Father Angus MacManus, newly installed rector at St. Aidan's-on-the-Lake Episcopal Church, a contentious vestry member, a hard-of-hearing dyslexic organist, a hyperactive overly-helpful woman, a bag piping chef, a clairvoyant cat, and a fatal "accident" in curious circumstances - not to mention long-held secrets - complicate Angus's time in this idyllic setting. Will Thelma play the right hymn? Will the islanders come to tolerate haggis? Will Millie ever be happy? Will Tom overcome his shy Minnesota upbringing? Will Cranmer let the cat out of the bag concerning a kleptomaniac on the island? Will the cause of a suspicious death ever be revealed? All this and more in THE COLDEST SHOULDER.
