Till Death

A Father Koesler Mystery

De: William X. Kienzle

Narrado por: Edward Holland

UNHOLY DEATH

For years, a little group of priests and nuns have struggled together to recover from the rule of virtual slavery imposed upon them by tyrannical Father Angelico, now thankfully gone to his reward. But for some of them the group is no longer a godsend. The ties that once bound beloved Father Rick Casserly, beautiful former nun Dora Ricardo, defrocked priest Jerry Anderson, and warm and lovely school principal Lil Niedermier unshakably to their church are becoming dangerously frayed by the human passions their faith denies them. No one foresees the terrible events that will soon leave one of them dead, and only Father Koesler, in the wisdom of his seventy years, grasps the shocking truth. . . .©2000 Gopits, Inc.; (P)2000 Books on Tape, Inc.

Reseñas de la Crítica

“The real mystery of the novel is figuring out who this dead person is. The book’s prologue takes place at the grave of an unnamed person, whose life changed many others, beginning forty years earlier. The identity of the dead person is not revealed until the death finally occurs near the novel’s end.”
–Flint Journal

“Kienzle uses his considerable skill as a writer to take us deeply into the lives of each of the principal characters, bringing them alive with all their flaws and virtues. Kienzle’s intimate knowledge of the Catholic Church gives a rare behind-the-scenes look at some of the church’s most heated issues.”
–Knoxville News-Sentinel

“Kienzle has a good eye for detail and a good ear for dialogue. . . . Till Death is one of his best recent novels.”
–Star Press (Muncie, IN)

Clueless

The Amazon reviews of the book version capture most of the defects. I didn’t mind hearing all the details about the effect of Vatican II on priests but this book has not aged well. Kienzle seems unaware of how the priests in his book abuse their power in relationships with adult women. And talk about blaming the victim! Give yourself a break and give this book a pass.
