Title: This is Really Lame
Product review: I picked this mystery up because I remembered the TV series starring Tom Bosley as Father Dowling and thought it was amusing. This is the first book I've ever read from this series and it will be my last. I can only assume that the script writers for the TV series were better writers than Ralph McInerny. The plot is mildly intriguing, but the characters are cardboard, the dialog is embarrassingly wooden, the humor forced, and the action scenes awkward. I gave it two stars rather than one because, as I said, the plot was reasonably interesting, if a bit clunky.Not recommended.Scott Morrison
