Review – The Patron Saint of Liars by Ann Patchett
The Patron Saint of Liars by Ann Patchett
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
This was a great book. It was fiction, but it had elements of psychological intrigue and pulls the reader through the story as you can’t tell where the story is going — but in a good way.
The characters were very real and the main character was not easily understood. I love stories that have the church or Catholicism as a backdrop and this one was not necessarily a Catholic story, but for anyone who grew up around nuns, it was one that had a nostalgia to it that was endearing.
The characters were not only real, but they had a bit of tragedy to them and this had a haunting effect throughout the read. It is a book that I won’t forget.
Highly recommend.

Review & Recommendation – The Templar Detective by J. Robert Kennedy
The Templar Detective by J. Robert Kennedy
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
I loved Mr. Kennedy’s writing style and the time period this takes place in. I love books that have the church or Christianity as a backdrop, so this was right up my alley. It was a well-worked plot but yet it was very easy reading which is a delicate mix.
Highly recommend.
