Can Reverend Margot Quade save that which is lost before it’s too late? Spring has come to Port Marie, Vermont, shedding new light on old mysteries. Margot has discovered two sets of skeletal remains buried in the wall of the church basement. And even though her police officer cousin Sam warned her to stay out of the case, Margot can’t help herself. After all, it’s her church, her domain, and … her church, her domain, and her responsibility to protect her flock.
Hoping for answers, Margot seeks out Conrad Baptiste, the former church Custodian, and becomes reacquainted with a loss from his past– his teenage son who went missing twenty years ago has been identified as one of the bodies.
Then, when a new twist in the case has Margot digging into the disappearance of two other boys who looked eerily similar to Conrad’s son, a disturbing pattern is revealed. Now, with a fourth boy missing, Margot can’t sit this one out. She ignores Sam’s orders to stay away and races to the church, knowing that if she doesn’t get there in time, another boy’s life will be lost.
Will the good reverend be able to save him and solve the old mystery without losing her own life? Or has she dug a little too deep into the past to find her way out?

Found in the wall in the basement are two small skeletons. They must be identified and the killer found.
This is a very quick read. This was a tough one to get through since it does deal with the disappearance and death of young teens. It is handled well though.

As Margot is settling in to her new place as Minister she makes a discovery that uncovers a 20 yr old mystery. She finds herself investigating to keep others safe and to maybe stop a serial killer. This was a fun quick read. So far I have enjoyed both in the series and look forward to Margots next adventure.

The Sacrificial Lamb is book 2 in the series. This book can be read as a stand alone since there were very few references to events that occurred in the first. True to form as in the first book, the storyline was a good blend of mystery and religion without being overpowered by religious teachings. There is an overall message that each book seems to have but it does not truly reveal itself until the end. This is a good read no matter your religious belief.

Reverend Margot Quade is settling into Port Marie, Vermont and has taken over her new duties at the rectory. Things are not looking too good when the new custodian at the church finds water damage in the church basement and asks Margot to take a look. Margot notices the wall seems “off” and when a
sledgehammer hits the wall for a closer inspection, she soon discovers the bones of two young males.
Looking to the former custodian for some answers when the police state the bones are from a body buried 20 and 10 years ago, Margot seems to open up old wounds and a missing person’s case from twenty years prior. When a boy in the parish goes missing, Margot sees a pattern and hopes that a serial killer is not on the loose. Can she find the boy before he sees the same fate as the others?
This is the second book in the new Reverend Margot Quade series but can be read as a stand-alone. It has the perfect mix of suspense, mystery, and great storytelling along with a likable heroine for the main character. I thoroughly am enjoying this series and can’t wait for more books to come.

Checking out storm damages at the church she realises a strange smell and follows it to a patch in the wall that has a slightly different colour and sound hollow. On asking her custodian to break a small hole – they find a dead body.

A page turner, albeit a few logical mistakes, a fun read.
