Reviews

[Gheeta]

a nice smattering of mysteries with a clerical twist from familiar and not - so - familiar authors.

[Linda]

Most of the stories were interesting, got confused on a couple.

[Margaret Joyce]

The ecclesiastical sleuths in this niche-genre collection are a refreshing alternative to the usual blood and gore types. A great read!

[John Carter]

I needed some short stories for what would be an indeterminable period in a waiting room. I'm through five of the ten, 153 out of 255 pages (60%). Mixed bag, as anthologies always are.

Done; and most of the stories were pretty good. One of the longest was the most disappointing--not really a crime, not really any sleuthing.
