A Gentle Murderer

Rating:
Summary: The title of this book is what first caught my eye.
Review: I had never heard of the book or the author, but was intrigued by anyone being a "gentle murderer." And with this story, the reader knows who the murderer is from the very beginning. But I found myself quite caught up in following those who don't know who he is. The first person looking for the killer is the priest who tried to help him in the confessional. Father Duffy hopes that the killer will go to the police, but soon realizes that this isn't going to happen. So he begins his search for the man who reminded him of pictures of St. Francis. And when the murder is discovered, the police are soon also looking for this unknown killer. Sergeant Ben Goldsmith begins his search. The question becomes, can either the priest or the police find the killer before there is a risk that he might kill again? As the search continues, Duffy and Goldsmith's paths cross. And they both know how important it is to find this killer.
