Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From Publishers Weekly
Since his debut in Kienzle's The Rosary Murders, Father Koesler of Detroit has been a favorite amateur sleuth. The priest's eighth criminal encounter occurs while he's acting chaplain at an inner-city Catholic hospital. Defying efforts to close the haven for the poor, its chief, Sister Eileen, fights rising costs and enemies on the staff. Tricks by a feckless arch-conservative fail to daunt the nun, such ploys causing only temporary confusion. But Koesler senses the minatory aura, very different from foolishness, which he interprets as a determination to kill Sister Eileen. He's right, although unable to change events set in motion by a malcontent who strikes suddenly. The realistic setting, discussions of theology and humanism add to the appeal in the author's new urbane, witty mystery. 35,000 first printing; $35,000 ad/promo budget; Mystery Guild selection.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Suspenseful and humorous,
This review is from: DeathBed (Father Koesler Mystery) (Mass Market Paperback)
As usual, Kienzle has written a good story here, but he adds an element of humor in the actions of one of the characters. His constant mishaps nearly make the reader laugh out loud. A very good book.
