The Prayer of the Night Shepherd by Phil Rickman
3.0
Quite wonderfully plotted in some ways because the actual murder which needs to be solved takes place in a mansion where a historic murder took place, which now acts as a stage for murder mystery weekends; while the subplot also involves multiple layers of old vs new murders. I most enjoyed getting an inside view to farmer's lives. And, I got a good laugh out of what the author thought of as a massive snow storm (i.e. Normal snow in many parts of the US, but of course Brits aren't used to it.)
It seemed to me this book itself is mostly about love. Love in all forms. Not just couples, although there are couples. Although it got a bit draggy in the middle (I am easily bored of Arthur Conan Doyle, family histories and ghosts), it ended beautifully and I was glad I had read it.
