Taken from the Sacristy

St. Brendan's Church, Caldmere

The Briefing

The collection envelopes from St. Brendan's Saturday harvest fundraiser are gone — along with Father Cormac Shea's personal ledger, the only record of who donated what. Someone knew exactly what they were looking for.

Persons of Interest

Everyone has something to hide.

Grace Delisle, Church Secretary / Organist, St. Brendan's Church in Caldmere
Grace Delisle
Church Secretary / Organist, St. Brendan's Church

54. Operational backbone of St. Brendan's. Organized, opinionated, warm in a controlling way. Plays the organ beautifully. Biggest gossip in Caldmere — frames it as 'pastoral concern.'

Chef Adrien Moreau, Head Chef / Owner, Wren & Finch in Caldmere
Chef Adrien Moreau
Head Chef / Owner, Wren & Finch

A French-Canadian transplant who came to Caldmere for the seafood. An extraordinary chef, a terrible businessman. His food is transcendent. His management style is volcanic.

Daphne Kessler, Actress / Voice Coach in Caldmere
Daphne Kessler
Actress / Voice Coach

The most talented performer in Caldmere and she knows it. Charismatic, competitive, insecure beneath the bravado. Funny in a way that occasionally draws blood.
