The fourth book in the Faith Abbey Mystery series finds Brother Bartholomew chasing art thieves in a fast-paced caper which takes him across the Atlantic.
Mr. Manuel, his wife, daughter, son-in-law (and three granddaughters) are resident members of an ecumenical religious community on Cape Cod, Massachusetts. There, in his lighthouse office at the first light of day he can be found at his computer - except on mornings when he leads a writing workshop, encouraging other would-be authors to believe the dream and persevere.
I picked this book on the recommendation of my mother-in-law. It had an interesting main character who was a monk. The story at times was predictable. It would be a good light read for the beach. I was disappointed because it was fairly easy to see how the book would resolve.
