The plot moves along at a leisurely pace in this, the fifth book in Schweizer’s Liturgical Mysteries series. Hayden is experiencing writers block, so he is talked into a bit of competitive writing. Several locals want to enter a bad writing contest, and Hayden is certain that this kind of challenge will help jump-start his creative process. St. Barnabas Episcopal Church is once again the site of mishaps and humor–the church is now sponsoring a NASCAR team and bad luck with the birds at the Pentecost service leads yet another rector to leave town under a cloud. But at least this time St. Barnabas is not the scene of a murder–that dubious honor goes to New Fellowship Baptist Church. The pastor of the church, Brother Kilroy, is found dead in his study. Although it appears that he was killed by Kokomo, a gorilla, Hayden knows that things are not always what they appear to be.
