Death of a Dean by
Hazel Holt
pbk out March 98
(Pan)
Few sleuths are cosier than Hazel Holts Sheila Malory. In this, the seventh novel of the series, the Dean of Culminster Cathedral is murdered, a fate he richly deserved. The Dean has recently and uncharitably declined to help his brother David, a fading but agreeable actor who naturally becomes the prime suspect. Fortunately, Sheila Malory and David Beaumont have been friends since childhood. Sheila brings her investigative skills to bear and briskly sorts out the problem.
