As with the previous, it's a pretty fast read. I liked how the surviving members of the veteran's support group turned into amateur investigators, and I liked how the group leader was continually working to regain control of the group from Clare. It was easy to sympathize with Clare's struggles and her insistence that the other veteran did not commit suicide, and I liked how Spencer-Fleming ended that part of the plot. I also thought that Clare was more thoughtful in how she handled things this time, instead of impulsively leaping into the middle of a situation that was guaranteed to devolve around her. But there's not a lot about her duties as the priest - shouldn't she be busier? And the last paragraph! I didn't like that for a couple reasons. This is a re-read for me, although I didn't remember it at all, and that bit was startling.
