Description

Praise for Ralph McInerny's Father Dowling Mysteries "Father Dowling is not the average priest, one who dispenses homilies and easy nostrums. He has been through the mill himself, is tough, yet has compassion . . . the Catholic equivalent of Harry Kemelman's David Small." "---The New York Times Book Review" "Mystery at its bloodless, cerebral best . . . Dowling is the perfect father confessor, dealing with moral dilemmas and the weakness of man with compassion and understanding." "---""Chicago"" Tribune" "McInerny's nimble characterizations and subtle soundings of the moral issues make this a strong entry in the long-running series." "---Publishers Weekly" on "Blood Ties" "Steeped in human drama and spiritual significance . . . Father Dowling's down-to-earth demeanor will appeal, as always, to a variety of readers who enjoy mysteries with a religious twist." "---Booklist "on "Triple Pursuit" "McInerny keeps the reader on edge as his intrepid sleuth-priest solves the crimes. . . .
