Seconded to the parish of Tililngdon, the Reverend Dolores has been presented with a challenge.

She’s living in an antiquated house and she’s cold. Furthermore, her new Bishop, Bishop Alice does not approve of ‘showgirls in dog collars.’

Determined to prove the Bishop wrong, she sets about warming her house – who cares if it smells of horse! There is the crochet club, jumble sale, and soup run to organise. And this year, the church bells will ring, no matter what threats are made. Even more so, the newly formed choir will spread a little joy this Christmas, even though they can’t sing – yet! And with a little help from Phil, her bassist, this year could be full of magic.

However, she has a fight on her hands as the townies out in Knob Hill – she must stop calling it that, are trying to stop her from ringing her bells. When Krystal with a K decides to do some volunteer work, Dolores sets out to see just how committed she really is.

Up to her ears in granny squares and squawking choristers, Dolores is revving up for Christmas, yet a deeper darker secret is beginning to emerge!

A secret that could blow the whole parish apart and put Dolores in danger.

Mysterious Death in Caniço

By Samantha Gannon on 2nd January 2023 7:35 pm

The Public Security Police (PSP) was called out this morning to investigate the death of a 29-year-old man living in the parish of Caniço.

Both the Firefighters of Santa Cruz and an EMIR medical team attended the scene, but the man was already in a state of rigor mortis.

Due to the circumstances of the incident, the PSP passed the investigation to the Judicial Police (PJ), who have already ruled out foul play. However, an autopsy will be performed to identify the cause of death.
