I interviewed the author on my blog a few months ago and wanted to read this book after discussing it with her. It didn't disappoint.

A good entertaining story. This was a quick and engrossing read. This was the first book that I've read by this author but I look forward to reading more.

Although the plot was interesting and end satisfying I couldn’t stand Jack. I continued reading because of the plot and his partner.
Ps. Nobody in Chicago would say White Sox Park (it’s Cominsky forever). A police sargeant would never be called Ms and police districts are referred to as 16th district, 20th district etc not district 16....

4 stars

From the opening words of this novel, the identity of the killer is known to the reader.

Detective Jack Bailey and his partner Sherk investigate the murder of Sister Anne. A Bible verse was left at the scene of the murder. Dismissing the thought of a robbery, Jack and Sherk turn their attention to murder. But who would want to murder an elderly nun?

Then another body turns up, also with a similar Bible verse. Jack and Sherk suspect that they have a serial killer on their hands. They investigate any possible connection to the Catholic Church.

Meanwhile, Jack is having problems with his sergeant. She is very attractive, but her style of supervision is grinding and off-putting.

The author does a very good job with this book. She manages to handle the whole scandal with the Catholic Church sensitively and fairly. I like the way she portrays Jack’s large Irish family as both loving and infuriating. This book is well written and plotted, although relatively short. It reads quickly and almost seamlessly.

I want to thank NetGalley and Black Rose Writing for forwarding to me a copy of this good book for me to read, enjoy and review.
