Narrated by Cliff Miller
Run Time: 9 hrs and 44 mins
Genre: mystery (sort of small town)
Summary:
Father Tom Greer is assigned to his old hometown to be the temporary priest. He’d left that place for good reasons. It’s where his wife was murdered. What ensues is a twisty whodunit of sorts.
Additional Comments:
- Tom’s an okay main character. Detective Helen Parr (one of Tom’s old flames) is probably my favorite character, besides the crazy old lady who thought bingo was rigged. She was hands-down my favorite.
- I don’t like Joan much. Everybody and their brother loved Joan for some reason, but not me.
- Well narrated.
- Had a few laugh aloud moments.
- There are a lot of instances of you’ll never believe what happened next sort of blah writing tactics.
- It’s probably about 3 hours too long for the story substance they had.
- There are a few references to Father Brown, so I’m guessing this is a pseudo homage to that.
- I hate audiobook previews.
- Clearly, this is going to be a series. It’s got a solid start in that regard.
- The dynamic between Helen and Tom is interesting, it wouldn’t surprise me if he left the priesthood after 10-12 long stories.
- There’s some cursing, but it’s not gratuitous.
- The descriptions of his duties were handled well.
Conclusion:
Clean whodunit with a Catholic church flair.
