Michelle Blake Books Overview

The Tentmaker

An exciting and thoroughly original debut mystery, featuring Lily James Connor, an Episcopalian female priest whose passion for the truth forces her to confront the evil that dwells within her own church. Lily Connor has spent the past six months in her native Texas at her father’s bedside watching him die. When her close friend Bishop Lamont Spencer calls to ask if she wants to take a job in Boston as the interim priest or tentmaker for a wealthy parish that has just lost its priest, she leaps at the opportunity. The beloved rector had died suddenly of a heart attack, brought on by insulin shock; the parishioners require a compassionate, experienced priest to guide them through this time of change. Soon after Lily takes over the job, however, she begins to suspect both the official version of the priest’s death and those who insist on its truth. As she is drawn ever deeper into the parish and the deadly secrets hidden within, Lily discovers that she may pay for her role of tentmaker with her own life.

Earth Has No Sorrow

In this sequel to the critically acclaimed The Tentmaker, Episcopalian priest Lily Connor seeks to find a friend who may be a victim of a vicious hate crime.

The Book of Light

When Lily Connor takes a job as interim chaplain at Tate University, an all but Ivy League school just down the road from Harvard, she’s happy to discover that an old friend of hers from seminary is now there as well. It’s clear, however, that something is wrong with Samantha she is thin and skittish and, more important, she looks scared. And when Samantha asks Lily for her help, it becomes something more perilous than Lily could have ever imagined. Someone has been sending Samantha photographs, purportedly of an ancient scroll known as The Book of Light, believed to contain the transcribed words of Jesus himself. No one has ever seen it no one even knows if it really exists. As Lily begins to investigate, it becomes dangerously clear that that is exactly the way someone wants to keep it.
