Title: Tell Me Allan Folsom Isn't Catholic!
Product review: I'm a pretty devout Catholic who loves suspense novels, so when I saw "Day of Confession" I was thrilled. Unfortunately, disappointment isn't strong enough to describe my feelings after finishing the book. Offended might be a better word.A meglomaniacal cardinal planning murder on a massive scale? A nun who has sex? Complicitous cardinals whose only concerns are ascending to the papacy? And my only hope for a redeeming clergyman revealed in a surprise twist to be something else? There wasn't a shred of faith, devotion, prayer or priestly sacrifice among any of the religious characters. Except maybe for the Pope who is depicted as a naive simpleton manipulated by evil cardinals.I have no problem suspending some amount of disbelief for the sake of the plot. I'm even willing to accept evil in the Vatican leadership for the sake of the plot, but at least give me some sense of balance to make the story somewhat believable.
