He knew who the killer was, and he was certain that the killer knew that. His sole reason for returning to his church that evening was the hope that the murderer would arrive soon. Father Francis knew that he was compelled to act in accordance with the laws of the country, but morally he was compelled to act with kindness, mercy, and compassion. In the death of the Major, he felt compassion and mercy for the murderer. Closing his eyes, he prayed to God and waited patiently for the killer to arrive." Father Francis is a guest at the large home of Major David Bartholomew and his wife Susan. What should be a merry occasion is overcast by the Major and his creepy manner towards his adopted daughter Rushell. When the Major is found dead, Father Francis suspects foul play. The question is not who had a motive for killing the Major but who would not want to kill such a despicable man. Was it his long suffering wife? Was it his wife's brother who never got along with the Major? Was it the Major's nephew who was in love with Rushell? Or was it Rushell herself? Father Francis has to struggle not only with this conundrum but his own conscience as he uncovers the facts that will lead to the killer. And what is it about that stuffed tiger in the great hall? A curious priest. A murdered man. A not so harmless stuffed tiger. Murder by Tiger: A Father Francis Mystery is the first in a new series of books by author Penelope Sotheby. If you are a fan of cozy mysteries that contain an ingenious amateur sleuth then you will love this Father Francis adventure.
