The body of a church warden is found with an overdoes of morphine and a knife in his chest. Morse is puzzled but develops a theory that the victim was blackmailing someone in the church. Unfortunately, the prime suspect, the vicar, plunges from the roof of the church. Three more gruesome murders quickly follow. They all have one thing in common. They were present at a particular High Church service.
Morse races against time to save the remaining members including a woman he has come to fancy.
In the final moments all is revealed in a plot that I found quite silly. However, the acting is vintage Morse with a stellar performance from Kevin Whately.
