Good story, but more profanity and vulgar language than I'm willing to wade through again.

I really enjoyed this one. Things kept changing with unexpected turns throughout. No profanity--thank you!

Follows in the story from the previous books in the series. It is sad, though.

I enjoyed the book, but it was not as good as previous Dick Francis works. It was choppier and had more unacceptable language than previous books (with the exception of one). I always appreciate an author who can express strong emotions without using a great deal of foul language.


A Fountain Filled with Blood (Rev. Clare Fergusson / Russ Van Alstyne, Bk 2)
Review Date: 8/6/2019


The story was of the kind that I expected and I enjoyed that aspect of the book. The final twist was anticipated but still enjoyable.

I was surprised, however, that a book featuring a priest as the primary character would contain so much profane and crude/obscene language. I'm not sure that I'll read others in the series.

Good read. I always appreciate the fact that this author can write a good story without a lot of profanity and vulgarity. Thanks, M H Clark!

This is the best Randy Singer book I've read yet. The solution is satisfying as well. It's clean, with no profanity, vulgarity, obscenity or crudeness, but still conveys the tense and dangerous moments effectively.

Very helpful. About to re-read it.

This is a really good story with the details dribbled out through 600+ pages and a reasonably satisfying conclusion. Unfortunately, it contains significantly more (unnecessary) profane and crude language than previous Grisham novels that I have read. I sincerely hope this is not a trend.
