Editorial Reviews

From Publishers Weekly

"Burnishing the reputation he has earned with The Rosary Murders , Kienzle again sets series hero Father Koeslerstet spelling among criminals in Detroit," remarked PW . "Proving that faith does move mountains, the author entertains and educates."

From Library Journal

The recent sudden notoriety of Brother Robert's miraculous "cures" in Detroit brings the small, newly founded Congregation of St. Stephen under scrutiny by press, police, and church fathers. The interests of all three factions merge when someone tries to murder Patricia Lennon, star reporter for the Detroit News . Kienzle renders a slick presentation, pumped up with a large, varied cast and the standard background filler. However, the unsubtle prose and presence of multiple protagonists lends an uneven quality to the whole. Father Koesler's mere ancillary involvement may also disappoint series fans ( The Rosary Murders, Deathbed , etc.). Purchase where demand merits.-- REK
