I'm going to be forever disappointed that there's not a book series on the lives of the Popes titled 'The Good, the Bad, and the Holy'. I mean come on people. That's so obvious!
I'm a few chapters in. So far, I enjoy it. Blackie is in it but he is not the main character. Lots of mystery and intrigue. Seems worth a read. It is written differently than his Bishop Blackie books.
You'll have to let me know what you think once you're done. I think I tried to read one of his other books, not in the mystery series he writes and I couldn't get into it so I just set him aside.
LOL
ReplyDeleteThat would be a good one! :)
ReplyDeleteYou really need to read "White Smoke". The reporter character makes a few comments like this. Mystery mixed with a conclave.
ReplyDeleteI have never been able to get into Greeley's books, to be honest.
DeleteIs this one good?

DeleteI like Bishop Blackie but his other books are weird LOL I'll let you know what I think. I'm 50 pages in and I like it so far.
ReplyDeleteI'm 100 pages in...and its slow. The history of the papal conclave weaved into the book is very interesting though.
