Title: Not Thrilling
Review: I picked up this book because I saw that the author was local to my home town (Santa Cruz, Calif). Although I had trepedations because I noted the book is self-published, I gave it a try. On the good side, it was written with some skill. Chapters were short and it did move along. I found the author's knowledge of the Catholic Church convincing. My primary criticism is that I found myself playing the game of trying to figure out who-done-it. The characters did not sustain interest and the plot was a bit one-dimensional. The book tries to create a hard talking, hard driving private eye whose character comes out as stiff and contrived. Finally, at the end of the book, I was left with only the solved mystery (which I had, unfortunately already guessed) and not much else. Wait, that is not right... I did come away with an appreciation for editors and the job that should have been done one this wanna-be thriller.
