Bishop and the Missing L Train (Blackie Ryan Series) Book

An interesting and highly readable take on detective work. Perhaps I am biased because of my own profession, but it is entertaining to read about a pastor who moonlights solving crimes. Greeley's writing is engaging and often tongue in cheek, but much like Agatha Christie this is more about the characters and the mystery ties them together. Ryan is very low profile in his character and in his mystery solving. Greeley crafts a priest who is neither typical or expected and the characterizations are both believable and readable. I have enjoyed Greeley's non-fiction and his other fiction - though this is my first Father Ryan, it probably will not be my last.
