Murder in the cathedral
"The Black Seraphim" is set in a Church of England cathedral-close milieu. A clergyman involved in the controversy over the possible sale of cathedral land to developers is murdered. Exceptionally well written, and in the literate British cozy tradition, this book is filled with interesting and eccentric characters, both clerical and lay, and is lightened with humor. I think readers who enjoy Michael Innes and Edmund Crispin will like this one. I wish I'd discovered Mr. Gilbert's novels when they were available new. Now I'm going to have to search used-book stores for the rest of them. Let's hope the publisher reissues them.
