One of my favourite discoveries this year has been the Reverend Clare Fergusson/Russ Van Alstyne mysteries by Julia Spencer-Fleming, mainly because the dynamic between the main two characters is so interesting!
My teaser this week comes from page 224:
Evening prayer had a whopping seven attendees, but they were evidently as eager to get home as Clare, and after she concluded the service with a verse from Ephesians, they all scattered, and she was back in the rectory by dinnertime.
She figured that the rare-collections librarian would never have approved reading the diaries while scarfing down pasta, so she plunked her plate in front of the tube and ate with Jim Lehrer, who was never put off from discussing the day's events by the sight of her chewing rigatoni.
Teaser Tuesday is hosted by Miz B at
Should Be Reading. Head on over to find out all about it, and how to join in!
It's always a challenge to get a good attendance at a prayer meeting. Mostly because I think generally people feel awkward praying out loud in a group. Our church found out that if you don't call it a prayer meeting and serve refreshments, people will come!
ReplyDeleteThink I like the sounds of Clare's no-nonsense attitude!
