Product Description

Priests and nuns are his targets. A plain black rosary entwined between the fingers of each victim is his calling card. The police don't have a clue, but Father Koesler sees a pattern -- a consuming religious obsession that can drive one man to serial murder. And to an unexpected and terrifying encounter inside the Father's own confessional.


Ingram

This is William Kienzle's chilling tale of the young and worldly Father Robert Koisler who gets involved in a real and terrifying whodunit. Screenplay by bestselling author Elmore Leonard. Starring Donald Sutherland and Charles Durning. National opening: September 25th.

4.0étoiles sur 5 The Rosary Murders Imagery, Fév 23 2004
Par Un client
This review is from: The Rosary Murders (Hardcover)
The Rosary Murders

In William Kienzle's The Rosary Murders the shockingly gory imagery of the novel strengthens it greatly. The diction Kienzle uses puts horrifying images in the mind of the reader. By going through every single detail of each murder there is a sense of what is soon to come. As the killer leaves rosary beads in the fingers of each victim, the imagery thickens. The diction is what brings the most imagery. If someone hears the word blood when discussing death they tend to get a little sick. Or when hearing how the victim got their throat sliced and their guts torn out, stomachs start to turn. Kienzle makes sure that you get the feeling of your stomach turning. At the begging of the novel the murders are not as bloodthirsty as those at the end. Kienzle sets the reader up to believe that they are reading a book that gives you enough feeling to get sick but not to feel vomit sick enough to turn pale. Hearing the way the victims die only makes the story even more ferocious to the point that it makes you wants to read until it is done. The individual image of each murder sets up the next vision of the next murder. This helps make the imagery even more strong. Without the strong, well-built structure of the imagery, The Rosary Murders would be just another book on the shelf.

5.0étoiles sur 5 Talk about TIMELY for the Catholic Church, Avril 15 2002
Par D. Denny (Indianapolis, IN United States) - Voir tous mes commentaires
(REAL NAME)   
Although this was published in '89, I was riveted by the timeliness in lieu of today's headlines. In this context, the "moral" or theme of the story is brilliant. The serial killer, a man with a serious problem doesn't need a tired priest to give him a standard penance - so many "Hail Marys" and "Our Fathers". The man with the problem needs HELP. I couldn't help but ponder that the well-publicized pedophile priests of late do not need to be shuffled by the church to another congregation - they need HELP. Ok, stop me when this gets complicated . . . Maybe the Chruch should do something about helping these people?

On a lighter note, the book maintains its riveting suspense. The characters are well-drawn, and as a non-Catholic, I enjoyed being a "fly on the wall" during discussions, arguments and joking sessions among priests. I certainly got a real sense of individuals, not of stoic men in clerical collars. Well done. I'm looking forward to another Kienzle read in the near future!

5.0étoiles sur 5 The Rosary Murders, Avril 7 2000
Par Un client
One of the finest whodunits I've ever read, and by far the best of the Father Koesler books. This one is hard to put down after the reader opens the front cover. The action never stops, and drags the very reluctant Fr. Koesler right along with it.
