A Montana Mystery featuring Gabriel Du Pré, Book 13

De: Peter Bowen

Narrado por: Jim Meskimen

When Gabriel Du Pré's precocious granddaughter, Pallas, returns from her studies in Washington, D.C., the entire clan in Toussaint, Montana, is happy to see her. Except Du Pré, that is, because the crotchety old fiddlin' cowboy knows that where Pallas goes, trouble is likely to follow.

A van full of praying, protesting fundamentalist Christians has arrived in Toussaint at just about the same time. A young soldier follows, just back from Iraq, missing a leg, an eye, and his grip on reality. Du Pré suspects that he's going to have his hands full for the foreseeable future.

Graffiti appears on the door of clumsy Father Van Den Heuvel's church, and a cryptic phone call from a missing girl causes concern in town. When a confluence of these strange events and even stranger people threatens problems that even laid-back Du Pré can't ignore, another quirky, compelling, and purely enjoyable mystery unfolds in Peter Bowen's Montana, a land trouble tends to visit often, with unpredictable but fiercely entertaining results.

Powerful

This one surely makes you think about extremism! What is religion and faith? Treat all with greater kindness and understanding. Love this read very much.

Hope this helps

Maybe this book will open some eyes. Absolutely love all of the books in this series. Sure do wish Peter Bowen was still alive and writing!

Horrible prejudice displayed by author.

The story showed/displayed extreme prejudice regarding anyone religious. Regarded all religious people as evil. Stupid prejudice viewpoints were not just part of the characters personality but came off as the author’s prejudice…period. Wow…I can’t get over how narrow minded this was. The story would been good without all the prejudice commentary.

To much preaching

This was a great series, however an hour into this one and I am done. The betrayal of the Baptist’s as narrow minded, preachy, closed minded, and ignorant looks like the other side of the mirror. There are all kinds of ignorance.
