Service Of All The Dead by Colin Dexter

After a suspicious death in an Oxford church, a terse, skeptical detective uncovers a web of multiple murders, forged alibis, and impersonations within a tight-knit parish community. Probing the rivalries and scandals behind pious facades, he pieces together how jealousy, guilt, and ambition fueled an intricately staged sequence of crimes that turned sacred spaces into scenes of deception.
