Mesmerizing!
The McInerny wit and seemingly endless data base exhilarate. He is masterful in any venue, be it bloodless murders on the Notre Dame campus or exploring the mysteries and miracles of the Catholic Church and international governments. Really difficult to do anything but read when there is a new McInerny novel to lose one's self in. Relic of Time is the second in his "Rosary Chronicles" and I can't wait for the next one. McInerny is one of America's finest contemporary authors.

Bridget's Review
The Virgin Mary made a visit to a poor man in Mexico 500 years ago. This man was wearing a very special cloak that included a picture of the Holy Mother and roses. This garment has gone missing. In an attempt to uncover the truth, Vincent starts looking for clues. What he finds is a huge mass of lies that has been covered up for centuries.

I love a good conspiracy theory. Ralph is a talented writer that can capture an audience in the matter of seconds. This is a masterpiece.

How very disappointing!!!!!
If possible I would give this book no stars.

I do dearly love the Father Dowling series. The Notre Dame series is hard to read.

But this book is totally impossible to read.

How many characters were introduced at the beginning? Way too many to even keep track of!! I had no idea through most of the first half of the book who was who and who belonged to whom. Even toward the last quarter, the relationships were confusing.

I am so very disappointed in Ralph McInerny. I did not read the first book in this series, not even realizing this was a series. And I darn sure won't go back and find it.

And the ending!! You've got this buildup for 300 pages, and then boom. It's over with one sentence. Nothing. So disappointing. And then the epilogues--STUPID. Wrap it up and leave the building. Just see how fast you can unwind the ridiculous previous 300 pages.

What a waste of a great writing talent.
