I read this book as part of a book challenge...the task was to read a book where the main character was either in the clergy or a spouse of a clergy.

This book fits the bill as Faith Fairchild is the spouse of a clergyman in a small New England town. Faith is not the usual "stereotype" of a clergyman's wife, even though she is the daughter of a clergyman. Faith was born and raised in New York City and is used to the excitement of city life. Faith is happily married with a newborn son. However, she is bored without the excitement of running her catering business that was so successful in NYC. Faith hopes to bring this business to Aleford when the baby is a bit older.

One day, while taking a walk and picnic lunch with her newborn son, Faith encounters the body of a local resident who is not well liked in the town. The prospect of adventure is very exciting for Faith who hopes to assist in solving this mystery.

I look forward to reading further in this series.
