5.0 out of 5 stars
One of Kienzle's best, July 6, 1999
This review is from: No Greater Love (Hardcover)
I thought this book was one of Kienzle's best. It's not a typical mystery in that the murder doesn't occur until the end of the book. From the opening chapter we know someone was killed and most of the book hints at who it might have been. Once again, Kienzle combines an interesting story and characters with Church history and politics. Reader's familiar with previous Fr. Koesler mysteries will not be disappointed.

2.0 out of 5 stars
Borr-ring!, August 1, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: No Greater Love (Hardcover)
Why I keep reading Kienzle is the biggest mystery here. I guess I keep hoping for something better than the last book, but they just keep getting more and more boring and mired in theology lessons. Instead of feeling as if I've just read a murder mystery, I feel as if I've just attended a lengthy lecture course on theology. I come away exhausted and wondering where the excitement, the tension, and the suspense were hiding. Clearly, Mr. Kienzle misses preaching. His characters deliver multi-paragraphed speeches, not dialogues. And the pesky quotation marks, while grammatically accurate, are confusing. I'm constantly checking them to be sure who is talking. I used to look forward to Kienzle's novels, but I think "No Greater Love" has cured me.
