From Library Journal
Although billed as a mystery, Kienzle's (The Man Who Loved God, Andrews & McMeel, 1997) latest offering is more of a historical view of the Catholic Church's changing attitudes from the 1950s to the 1960s and beyond. Father Robert Koesler is excited at the prosect of having Father Zachary Tully join his parish. Unfortunately, Bishop Vincent Delvecchio has misgivings about Tully's appointment. As Koesler and Tully discuss the matter, Koesler discovers a long-hidden mystery, which takes a back seat to numerous discussions that give fascinating insight into the workings of the Catholic Church before Vatican II. However, fans who expect a more substantial mystery from Kienzle may be disappointed.

Product Description
LAST RITES AND LETHAL WRONGS

Father Koesler is pondering his imminent retirement. But even as he looks toward an uncertain future, circumstances force him to investigate a crime from the past, a murder that only now has come to light. The revelation is revealed after his successor, Father Zachary Tully, clashes with Bishop Vincent Delvecchio. A longtime colleague of the powerful bishop's, Koesler searches his memory for insight into his superior's demanding nature . . . only to discover long-buried secrets involving a devout family haunted by tragedy--and shocking truths about sin, salvation, and the greatest evil. . . .
