In a secret chamber uncovered by a fire that nearly destroys the nineteenth-century chapel at Archangels University, architect Harriet Darling finds a skull. The police have a body and murderer in mind, and on campus, rumours are rife. But Harriet wants to save the chapel from further harm, and she has ideas of her own. She has a blue rosary and a Black Madonna, and they take her back, to a girls' school, a powerful nun, and a time of innocence lost and found.
What starts as a mystery about a skull becomes a journey to faith. Along the way Harriet has to trust herself and the world and the risks are great. If she fails, she loses not only the chapel but also the place in her own heart where something good can grow.
A murder mystery, a romance and an emotional journey that spans the twentieth century, Angels In The Architecture is about the nature of innocence and the triumph of love over hate.
