Publisher's Summary

Matt Hunter lost his faith a long time ago. Formerly a minister, now a professor of sociology, he’s writing a book that debunks the Christian faith while assisting the police with religiously motivated crimes.

On holiday with his family in Oxfordshire, Matt finds himself on edge in a seemingly idyllic village, but when a local girl goes missing, he's caught up in an investigation that brings memories to the surface he would prefer to stay buried deep…He must draw on his theological knowledge to catch the killer.

surprisingly ok

The synopsis looked promising, and so even though I'm hesitant about any mystery/thriller that deals with religion (when it's good it's good, but when it's bad it is horrible and embarrassing!), I thought I'd give it a try. It actually wasn't bad. I find that when a story has an atheism vs theism (usually generic Christianity) theme, it is never well written, just heavy handed and cringey. But yeah, this was only medium-handed!
The mystery itself was engaging and neatly put together. Lots of threads that were successfully tied up in the end.
The writing was good. The characters were, for the most part, three-dimensional, although "Chris" was pretty cartoonish.
Overall, an engaging listen.
