Bishop Blackie at his best!

One of my favorite authors of all time. God bless Father Greeley, as well as Bishop Blackie!

entertaining as always

LOVE Greeley's books, & his way if bringine Word to life!
wish all narrators listed; would like to look the others up.

Comfortable but not engaging

Narrators' performance is excellent, but this is not one of Father Greeley's better novels. The love stories exist only to pad out a mystery that would have been better as a short story.

Another humane author, hooray!

Well read. My first foray into this series. I am not Roman Catholic (didn't matter much). Though the premise is comic, the plot is not a strong point. The characters are nuanced and lively. The dialog is great (Is there a Blarney Stone in Chicago?). No one is black or white, and the author's love of humanity and impatience with cant shines through. Definitely not self righteous or preachy, as I had feared from encountering some other "religious" works. More in the spirit of Ruth Dudley Edwards than any other author I've recently encountered.

A fun story

Bishop Blackie is a good man doing good works for his Cardinal in Chicago. He is a detective like no other and he always solves the mystery with grace and dignity of a faithful Bishop of the Catholic Church.
