An intriguing whodunit with many twists and turns featuring the
amiable Father Ignatius and his colleague Father Donald. A smoking gun
has been found and its owner identified, but why would someone commit
such a daring murder and what is the motive behind it all?
In
this book, the eighth stand-alone novel in the series of Father Ignatius
books, we find the two priests drawn away from their clerical duties
and becoming un-willing detectives trying to solve a crime well beyond
their capabilities. Their motivation may be well-intentioned but their
implementation is far from ideal, as they stumble over clues and putting
themselves and their friends in real danger in the midst of
gang-warfare. However, their encounter with crime and murder does not
deflect their mind from their duties as priests and their
responsibilities to their parishioners.
Once again, we meet the
amiable Father Ignatius and see him in a new light as an individual as
well as a priest; together with his colleague Father Donald and their
friend Theodore Luxton-Joyce in a new adventure which is sure to delight
their many fans and readers old and new.

Thank you Cheerful Monk. God bless.
Delete...this reminds me of Father Brown!
ReplyDeletePerhaps better ???
DeleteGod bless, Tom.
Does sound like a good read. Wishing you lots of sales!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much, Bill. I hope the message in this book helps someone. God bless.
DeleteI can't wait to read it, Victor! Congrats on another marvelous book, my friend.
ReplyDeleteThank you for your support, Martha, and your kindness. In this story, Fr Ignatius actually gets involved in a situation not of his making; rather than just sympathise and pray. Is it the role of a priest/vicar/pastor to get involved?
DeleteGod bless.
Like Martha, I can't wait to read this! I pray the author (*wink*) won't be letting anything untoward happen to my favorite protagonists.
ReplyDeleteHi Mevely, thank you too for your continued encouragement and support. Regarding this story, this is where I'd like your views and those of other readers. Was Fr Ignatius right to behave the way he did? What if your pastor or a priest you know behaved this way? Some who have read this book, (in draft form), have different views. (I'm only the author - I don't have a view on anything!!!)
DeleteGod bless, Mevely.
I just finished reading! While I admire Fr. I's decisions, I'm pretty sure I couldn't be as strong or sure in my convictions. Great read!
DeleteThank you, Mevely. Others who read this book disagree with my ending and say Fr I. should not have let him go. And indeed, he should have not volunteered in the first place or get involved.
DeleteThank you for your support; I am so pleased you enjoyed this storyline. God bless you always, Mevely.
Sounds like a fascinating read! And I love your opening quote. God bless, Laurie
ReplyDeleteIt's nice to see you visiting here, Laurie. Thank you; please call again soon. God bless you always.
