Murder Among Friends

Rating:
Summary: Good mystery; Great Atmosphere
Review: This book is a delight, not so much for the mystery, but because McConnell has taken obvious care and attention to creating full characters and capturing the atmosphere of Chicago in winter. The mixing of a hardboiled detective and a former Catholic nun leads not only to comedy, but to subtle tender growth in both characters. The closest you can come to a modern G. K. Chesterton.
