An elderly pastor detective in downstate Illinois whose instincts, insights, and wisdom guide his gentle and persistent style. Father John is the best clerical sleuth since Brother Cadfael. This description may be from another edition of this product.
This book falls into the category of "a cup of coffee, a good book, and some quiet time". Very well written, the story follows the lives of people in a small southern Illinois town, unmasking how one tragic secret can touch several different people in unimaginable ways. I was quite surprised at how "southern" southern Illinois really is - and this is what speaks to the heart of this story. Obvious clues turn out to be practically irrelevant, and those that are not so obvious turn out to totally relevent. If you enjoy mysteries, you will truly enjoy Father John and the people that wander through his life.
