Father Joe McCullen is no ordinary priest.
He has a heart of gold, but he's no pushover. Very little passes his ears or his eyes and he can smell a "rat" from a mile away.
The community of Old Providence is held by higher standards by the beloved priest, yet "skeletons" still manage to creep out of the closets of his faithful parishioners every now and then, and oftentimes are not headed anywhere in the direction of the confessional.
Join Father Joe McCullen on the most extraordinary, eyebrow-raising adventures of mystery, suspense, a bit of humor - and surprise after surprise!

Dr. Mark Bridges swindles his patients out of thousands of dollars, and has made some enemies along the path, especially the Robinsons whose wife passes away shortly after her visit to Dr. Bridges.
Then, Dr. Bridges is found murdered at his own office one night. The community of Old Providence is shaken to the core by this gruesome news. Who wants Dr. Bridges dead?

“There’s a piece missing from this puzzle, Agatha,” Joe stared into space. “The thought keeps nudging at me. I must find out what that piece is"
In this, the second book in the series,a doctor is murdered in his office and the police aren't looking very far to find the killer. Heck, Old Providence is a small town and people wonder just how competent the force is.
Enter Father Joe McCullen from Saint John’s Cathedral. He has solved a murder in the past despite the police looking at other suspects, and this one is as suspicious when a grieving spouse confesses. But it's too cut and dried to Fr.Joe so he sets about using his gut and a few trusted souls to bring the real culprit to justice.
I am really enjoying this series by author Tanya R Taylor and think everyone else might as well. Highly Recommended 5/5

Another great Father Joe mystery. A cosmetic surgeon is murdered at his desk one night, a distraught husband confesses to the murder. Did the young husband actually killed the doctor, even though he insists that he's guilty? Or, did someone else commit the murder. Father Joe is doing his own investigation. Does he find proof that the distraught husband really did commit the murder or was it someone else? Read this wonderful story to find out.

This was a very fast murder mystery. I liked all the characters, except for the doctor and his wife. Which is to be expected. Father Joe made a wonderful lead character. A very patient and compassionate man of the cloth. He was not given to preaching which added to the pleasant read. I would like Iike to read more in this series.
This was an advance readers copy sent to me by the author for a non biased review.

Who would lie about murder?
A young wife dies. A doctor is murdered and the husband confesses but Father Joe McCullen is not convinced. He is determined to save the young man from himself.
I like the characters in this series. Father Joe has a down-to-earth attitude and a gentle attitude toward everyone as he follows the clues. I received an advance copy but my review is honest and voluntary.

Another fantastic mystery featuring Father Joe. He gets involved when a local surgeon gets murdered. Unfortunately he wasn’t so popular. Full of suspense and surprises every page I turned. Can’t wait to read the next book.

Cozy with a lousy ending
OK...sure lots of suspects, but leaving the departed employee's story line in was a killer to who was guilty. Better if Todd gave up that he was right behind Cherry and they both shot Bridges. Too easy to figure out who was guilty.

This is a tragic story and is very believable because this has happened to a lot of people. The characters are very good and I felt what everyone was going through in the story. This reminds me of Father Brown.

Father Joe is back; once again “helping” the police solve yet another case.
I feel sorry for the murderer whose heart was in the right place.
I was given an ARC copy for an honest review.
