As this mystery-cum-thriller is based on true happenings in the history of the Roman Catholic church, I had to believe that the events eluded to in this novel were plausible. It made for a really good story and gave my heart a few zinging nips of adrenaline as I read through. No wonder Sister Maria Caruso, who was an advocate for truth, had some excitement in her otherwise placid life.
The authors of Silent Mistresses may appear to be putting a negative spin on the Roman Catholic church but as the book's characters thrash out consequences of certain actions of the church, to expose the secrets and the plight of those involved, I thought it wasn't so much about the church in general, per se, rather on some of their deplorable practices they unreaonably attempted to uphold.
Priests, fathers, bishops, popes and general church adherents may be surprized but also find this of interest. I enjoyed the story as there were those who were especially championing female victims. I feel most other potential readers will enjoy reading this third book in the Vatican Chronicles series.
