reviewed on + 988 more book reviews


Father John Keating is murdered, and the man who did it reveals all to Father Koesler under the sacred seal of the confessional. Ever the traditionalist, Koesler knows he is bound to tell no one. Fortunately, the new priest-in-residence, Father Nick Dunn, has overheard the killer's confession. Unfortunately, he's been praying for the chance to help Father Koesler crack a case. And when the cops call on Koesler for help, the sleuthing father discovers that there is only one thing more annoying than an overeager amateur detective priest nipping at his heels; another murder.

This one is a winner - Kienzle deserves high marks for coming up with the double twists in the fast-moving, exciting climax. Will leave many mystery buffs impatiently waiting for the next Koesler novel - The Journal.
