Death in the Old Rectory by Kathie Deviny

Father Robert returns in a blessedly baffling murder mystery featuring prayer, peril, and "a great cast of characters ( Suspense Magazine ).

For many years, Father Robert Vickers called the old rectory at Seattle's Grace Church home—but no more. An enterprising volunteer has come up with a scheme to convert the run-down house of god into a thrift store. And with the Episcopal Church deep in the red, Father Robert moves into a condo.

The thrift store business is booming until one of the employees is killed—execution-style. It seems the nice young man's criminal past may have caught up with him. But Father George isn't so sure. With the help of his loyal fiancée, Molly, and a collection of faithful followers, the good Father sets out to uncover the truth before Grace Church's already-dwindling congregation is scared away completely—and before the killer decides to strike again.
