The Office of the Dead
By Andrew Taylor
St. Martin’s Minotaur; 2000
Living in the British city o f Rosington during the 1950s, Wendy finds herself penniless, jobless, and on the brink
if divorce. Desperate for advice, she seeks solace in her oldest friend, Janet By field. The wife of an ambitious
/oung clergyman, her frind seems to have everything Wendy lacks: a loving, new family and a gorgeous manor.
But perfection has always loomed too closely to tragedy. Gradually, the Byfields’ idyll sours - old sins come t«a
taunt the present and breed new ones in their place. A shadow of death seeps through the manor, and with it comes
i mystery stretching back to the tum-of-the-century church and an opium-addicted poet-priest, then even further
lack in time to a women burned at the stake in the fifteenth century.
□nly Wendy, as an outsider, can glimpse the truth. But can she grasp its macabre and twisted logic in time to
prevent imminent tragedy?
Office o f the Dead is the final volume of a trilogy tracing the psychological development of a female serial killer.
