Elizabeth George: Missing Joseph (UK 2012)

From the Publisher:
When Deborah St James hears of the unexpected death of Reverend Sage, her sadness has a very personal tinge. For their paths had crossed some months earlier at a particularly vulnerable time for Deborah, and she had found herself confessing her intimate anguish to this sympathetic stranger. When she realizes that his death is far from accidental, Deborah, with her husband, Simon, enlists the help of Inspector Lynley, and the trio embark upon an investigation that hinges upon the overriding - and ultimately destructive - power of parental love.

Elizabeth George: Missing Joseph (USA 2008)

From the Publisher:
Deborah and Simon St. James have taken a holiday in the winter landscape of Lancastershire, hoping to heal the growing rift in their marriage. But in the barren countryside awaits bleak news: The vicar of Wimslough, the man they had come to see, is dead -- a victim of accidental poisoning. Unsatisfied with the inquest ruling and unsettled by the close association between the investigating constable and the woman who served the deadly meal, Simon calls in his old friend Detective Inspector Thomas Lynley. Together they uncover dark, complex relationships in this rural village, relationships that bring men and women together with a passion, with grief, or with the intention to kill. Peeling away layer after layer of personal history to reveal the torment of a fugitive spirit, Missing Joseph is award-winning author Elizabeth George's greatest achievement.

Elizabeth George: Missing Joseph (UK 1994)

From the Publisher:
When Deborah St James seeks refuge from the rain and her own sadness in the National Gallery, she does not expect to find herself confessing her anguish to an Anglican priest, Robin Sage. Still less to be doing so as they contemplate Leonardo's cartoon of the Virgin and Child with St Anne, wondering why - yet again - poor Joseph should have been excluded. Far more shocking than confiding in a stranger is the discovery, just a few months later, that the Reverend Sage is dead - from accidental poisoning. But as Deborah and her husband, Simon, soon realize, the Vicar's death was far from straightforward. As their suspicions grow, they turn to their old friend Lynley, on leave from Scotland Yard, and together they begin to search for the truth.
