A refreshing change of pace
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
Contrary to most reviewers, I found Kienzle's departure from his standard format quite a refreshing change. The Prologue definitely got my attention, and I kept wondering "what's going to happen with this?" As a Baptist seminary student, I found Kienzle's insights into and explanations of Catholic theology personally helpful in understanding that faith and the politics within it. I wouldn't recommend this book to those looking for the standard mystery novel, but I truly enjoyed it.
One of Kienzle's best
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 25 years ago
I thought this book was one of Kienzle's best. It's not a typical mystery in that the murder doesn't occur until the end of the book. From the opening chapter we know someone was killed and most of the book hints at who it might have been. Once again, Kienzle combines an interesting story and characters with Church history and politics. Reader's familiar with previous Fr. Koesler mysteries will not be disappointed.
