The Bishop at Sea

Rating:
Summary: If you like Bishop Blackie, you'll love . . .
Review: An enjoyable, page-turning novel, but not up to the standard we expect of Bishop Blackie. As the plot thickens you'll be inclined to throw up your hands and 'leave it to Blackie'. He doesn't seem as real as he is in the other novels he graces; here, he's a narrator who expresses his own confusion/ignorance. But you, the reader, suspend your belief: you KNOW Blackie will solve it.

Summary: Best of the best in mysteries.
Review: Andrew Greeley is a master story teller - especially with Bishop Blackie Ryan. This is probably the first Greeley book I read and, once started, I lilterally couldn't put it down - finally finished it at 4:57 A.M. For mystery lovers, this is a "must read".

Summary: Blackie at sea
Review: This was my second Blackie Ryan book and I found that I enjoyed it far more than the first which was The Bishop and the missing L Train. This one kept me on the each of seat and page turning, trying to guess what had happened, along with all the other enjoyable characters kept me going untill the final page. A first rate book and a new author to read had me doing handstands for joy.

Summary: A quick, enjoyable Greeley story
Review: While I've read several of Andrew Greeley's novels, this was my first Blackie Ryan story. I found the story fast-paced and a real page-turner -- I read it from start to finish in one sitting (less than 300 pages.) Enough twists to keep you interested, but a bit predictable.
