Title: Patently a good one
Review: I like all of Andrew Greeley's novels, yet "arguably" as Blackie Ryan would say, this is my favorite one to date. It is "patently" a well-crafted tale, to use Blackie's other favorite adverb. I was truly surprised when he found the solution to another closed-room mystery, his specialty. This is a gentler, kinder book than many of his earlier offerings. Blackie has softened over the years, and has a detached and fuller understanding of the passions of youth.Set in Paris, and poking fun at many typically French characters and attitudes, Greeley's book will make you smile and keep you wondering until the last pages.
