A Whispered Name (Father Anselm Novels) par William Brodrick
I thought the story was a good one but it wasn't well told. I also didn't like the bit he inserted into the epilogue which I thought entirely unnecessary.
This did a good (and surprising) job of bringing to a close the mystery of who really killed the man for whose murder Benson went to prison. I found the other thread (the Lynwoods' trial) less interesting. Although there were some fantastic courtroom scenes, the actual solution to why the Lynwoods had acted as they did came a bit out of left field. I also felt the pacing of the book generally was off. It seemed to come to a bit of a disappointing end and then there were various twists and turns and eventually it petered out.… (plus d'informations)
Contemporary in that the author deals with the difficult theme of child abuse. An American priest, Father Eddie, is accused. Is he innocent or guilty? As a whole, the book is not exciting, but it does pose moral questions and there is good courtroom drama where Father Anselm [a former lawyer] takes up the defense of Father Eddie. The story is convoluted and reaches back many years. It is told without sensationalism.
