Editorial Reviews

From Publishers Weekly

When Constance Farley Rush leaves her infant son in a basket at Fr. Dowling's church, she means to accuse her ex-husband, Peter Rush, of plotting to kidnap the baby. But as McInerny's 11th mystery develops, someone kills Rush, presenting the priest and his pal, Lt. Keegan of the Fox River, Ill., police, with a knotty case of murder. Constance, her sister Liz and their mother unite to cover up the fake abduction while Keegan's officers trace clues to persons swindled by Rush, in hopes of finding his killer. Meantime the priest's investigation pays off with facts about a long-buried crime and evidence against the guilty person. As might be expected, the author's wit, his portrayal of the humane Dowling and other attractive characters, and the framework of solid plotting add up to a grand entertainment for armchair sleuths.

4.0 out of 5 stars A good review, March 30, 2000
The Basket Case is a very good book. Those who like mystery books will love this one. It makes you want to read more. So you can't put it down. It was especially good when you found out why Connie left the child in the rectory. Father Dowling is very good at handling this case. This book couldn't compare with other types of mystery books.
