“Canterbury Tales.” In “Ghostly Murders” (“The Poor Priest's tale of mystery and
murder as he goes on pilgrimage from London to Canterbury”), the author features Father
Philip, who, along with his brother Edmund, has just been assigned his first parish in the
village of Scawsby in Kent. That village has held a long and evil mystery dealing with the
Knights Templars, a holy relic, rumors of lost treasure, evil incarnate, and, of course, a
murder or two. By the end of the book, Father Philip “had learned a great deal, in his
short stay at Scawsby, about good and evil, about the human will and the need to repair
what was broken, for man to answer for what he did.”
