The Good Priest

By: Gillian Galbraith

Narrated by: James Bryce

In the house of a Roman Catholic bishop a man lies in a pool of blood. Out in the bishop’s diocese the quiet life of parish priest Father Vincent Ross is about to be thrown into turmoil by a terrifying revelation.

There are ugly scandals being hidden by the church, and a murderer is on the prowl. The police and the authorities are groping in the dark, but Father Ross has been given special information that he cannot disclose to anyone.

It gradually dawns on him that he and he alone can unravel the mystery and bring the nightmare of violence to an end. Reluctantly he puts his personal safety, his reputation and finally his life on the line.

Slow

The premise was good, but way too slow and flowery adjectives about every scene, except the ones dealing with what was supposed to be the main plot. I had hoped to read a good Catholic Christian mystery. Instead, it’s filled with unnecessary fowl language (from a bird) and PC garbage against Catholic theology had to thrown in there.
