not as fun as the others

Having read the other Father Baptist books, I anticipated this to be as fun. It was not. Perhaps because the author changed his style a bit - he has another character write some chapters - or perhaps because a few of the people in the book are not likeable and do not become likeable. This book almost became hard to get through. The author has talent, making his characters believable, and the humor in the books cracks me up, but not in this. I still recommend the book, it's part of a series, and there is information in it that again imparts the true faith. That alone makes it worth reading. It's just not as fun as the others.

Best yet

Retired Chief Detective John Baptist becomes a traditional Roman Catholic priest after the death of his beloved wife, uses his pension to create and serve a traditional Roman Catholic parish, and finds himself in the midst of Novus Ordo mayhem for the third time in this latest book by William Biersach. Father Baptist's Archbishop can't stand him, doesn't want to have anything to do with him, and yet finds himself in a most embarrassing situation that even tergiversation won't resolve without the retired detective/priest's assistance. Past books' story-lines continue in this latest murder (or is it?) mystery that will make you want to buy the previous books in this series if you don't already own them. Roman Catholicism with humanity, humor, a delicious sense of the Holy Faith and a passing respect for what Traditionalists have to deal with all too often. Martin Feeney has hit his stride, so to speak - no cane intended. Be warned: this longest book will steal your weekend and more at 654 pages and may well still leave you wanting more.
