An Essential Evil is a stand-alone short story by mystery writers Diane Marquart Moore and Isabel Anders, authors of the full-length mystery Chant of Death.
Serving also as a Prequel to Chant of Death, An Essential Evil introduces Malachi Marchand in his previous life as a clinical psychiatrist—successful in his vocation, but unable to deal with his deranged wife, Virginia.
In this prequel, the cataclysmic beginning of Malachi's vocation as Abbot of St. Andrew’s, a Benedictine Abbey in southern Louisiana is revealed. Get to know Malachi, learn of his excruciating and perilous relationship and how the demands of his marriage lead to his journey of the soul. An Essential Evil reveals in compelling detail the inner workings of a crisis of spirit that underlies this hero’s journey.
In the full-length mystery, Chant of Death, murder rears its ugly head amid struggles over the monks’ profits from a chart-topping Chant recording. As Malachi becomes accustomed to hearing the echoes and enduring the strains of a haunting Chant of Death, would he, a former secular outsider, be up to the challenge of clerical detective?
Praise for Chant of Death
Chant of Death is a remarkable piece of storytelling grounded in the real and the observable but connected as well to the magical and the ineffable. Diane Marquart Moore and Isabel Anders are rare intelligences in the world of mystery writers. They have woven a tale that is at once a traditional mystery with nods here and there to the best of the writers in the genre. But they have also written a thoroughly contemporary work that explores the medieval church as well as the challenges faced by the post-modern church, the vagaries and varieties of every kind of love imaginable, the consolations of both philosophy and modern psychology, the lures and temptations of both monastic life and life on the outside. This work is engrossing and satisfying, a tapestry one can more easily enter than leave behind. Rich, expansive, masterfully plotted to please the broadest spectrum of readers. —DARRELL BOURQUE, Poet Laureate of Louisiana, July 2010
Set in a Benedictine monastery in Louisiana, Chant of Death is one of those rare novels that examines contemporary issues of the church with candor, erudition, and spiritual insight. It is also an exploration of what it means to live a holy life in the face of spiritual and physical assaults. In the end, Father Malachi becomes not merely an amateur detective in pursuit of a killer, but a consummate investigator of the human heart, probing the failings and frailties of all who surround him. —LISA GRALEY, Poet, Writer, and Professor at the University of Louisiana at Lafayette, July 2010
Divine unity, pedophilia, love, chant, voodoo, monks and the power of seven. The rousing mystery, Chant of Death, combines spiritual wisdom with incredible real life observation. It's a rare blend of spirituality, intrigue, and psychology. Makes me think Not ‘Roll Over, Beethoven,’ but ‘Move Over, Dan Brown!’ An excellent read, I was fascinated. —JO ANN LORDAHL, Author of Secrets and Wolf World, July 2010

From a deadly downward spiral threatening all he loved, Malachi was able to climb to a labyrinth of the spirit directed toward the Source, and become a healer beyond his psychiatric past.
