I've read many, if not most . . ., Mar 28 2007
By David Zampino "21st Century Hobbit" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Happy Are those who thirst for justice (Paperback)
. . . if not most of Fr. Andrew Greeley's "Father Blackie Ryan" mysteries -- and "Happy Are Those Who Thirst for Justice" is certainly one of the better ones.This series of mysteries was originally based on the Beatitudes. Each book featured a main character who exemplified the characteristics of that particular beatitude. (And sometimes -- like in this book -- a character who seems to exemplify the exact OPPOSITE of the beatitude in question!) The mysteries almost always involve a murder (or attempted murder), a rather obvious (and usually innocent) suspect -- and a host of characters with varying degrees of motive.
In addition, Fr. Greeley uses these books as theological teaching tools, also frequently linked with Beatitudes, expressing the many unique ways that God expresses His love.
Finally, for those fans of Fr. Greeley's "Time Between the Stars" characters, each of these mysteries "fleshes out" the character of one or more of the Ryan clan and their many friends, in this case Fr. Blackie's sister, "Mary Kate the Shrink".
I recommend this book.

Happy are Those Who Thirst for Justice, Mar 6 2011
By Sunny - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Happy Are Those Who Thirst For Justice (Hardcover)
As usual, Andrew M. Greeley has done it again! He writes about characters who you can relate to and actions and reactions that are believeable. Good mysteries with a healthy dose of romance.The Archbishop in Andalusia: An Archbishop Blackie Ryan Novel (Bishop Blackie Ryan Mysteries)Irish Tweed: A Nuala Anne McGrail Novel (Nuala Anne Mcgrail Novels)The Cardinal Virtues are 3 of the series that are must reads.
Listmania!
