The Collins-Burke series book touted the best yet”
Father Brennan Burke’s patience is tested to the limit when a young woman announces to the world that the Virgin Mary has appeared to her in his churchyard, and hordes of pilgrims, souvenir hawkers, and reporters converge on the scene. But, as unwelcome as these guests may be, they pale in comparison to yet another aggravation in Father Burke’s life, a controversial talk show host who clashes with Burke the minute he arrives in town.
Events take a darker turn when a body is found at the apparition site, and the talk show host is picked up for the murder. There is enough aggravation to go around, as lawyer Monty Collins learns when he takes on the loud-mouthed TV man as a client. Monty and Brennan both have a stake in uncovering the truth about the murder, and learn disturbing things about the accused and other suspects in the case. Problem is, Monty and Brennan cannot talk to each other about what they find out, because one is bound by solicitor-client confidentiality and the other by the seal of the confessional.

About the Author:
From Booklist:
Anne Emery is a lawyer and the award-winning author of the Collins-Burke Mystery series. Her first book, Sign of the Cross, won the Arthur Ellis Award for Best First Novel. The fifth, Children in the Morning, won a silver medal in the 2011 Independent Publisher Book Awards and the 2011 Dartmouth Book Award for Fiction. She lives in Halifax, Nova Scotia.
Halifax, Nova Scotia, lawyer Monty Collins takes on an unpopular client when he agrees to defend a talk-show host against a charge of murder. The victim’s body was found at a local church, where recently a woman claims to have seen an apparition of the Virgin Mary above a statue. Coincidentally—or not?—the woman who claims to have seen the apparition is suing Monty’s friend (and former client) Father Brennan Burke for wrongful dismissal as church secretary. This is another sharply plotted entry in the Collins-Burke series, which is distinguished by its well-drawn characters and unique setting. The author, who hails from Halifax, does an excellent job of anchoring the story in the city. Whether it’s because of the requirements of the tale she’s telling, or because she just wanted to shake things up a little, this is the first book in the series to be told in the third person. Monty narrated the earlier books, but this time we see him from the outside, as others see him, affording us a new perspective on the character. Keep ’em coming. --David Pitt
