"A sophisticated and baffling thriller . . . a real bone-freezer." —Publishers Weekly
"Ingenious, witty, literate—at once irreverent and compassionate—an impressive tour indeed for a first-time novelist." —Los Angeles Times
"Well-paced, tightly written, exciting as hell, and, quite possibly, the best mystery I've read in years." —Dallas Times-Herald
The Rosary Murders was William X. Kienzle's first Father Koesler mystery, published in 1978. Twenty-three more books followed, creating a best-selling mystery series mostly set in Detroit and reflecting the personality of its hero, Father Robert Koesler, a diocesan priest with a penchant for sleuthing. The Rosary Murders was named one of the top twenty-five mysteries of the twentieth century in spring 2000 by the Chicago Sun-Times. It was also made into a movie, with Donald Sutherland in the role of Father Koesler.
In The Rosary Murders, Detroit priests and nuns are being methodically murdered; all are found with a plain black rosary entwined between their fingers as a calling card. From Ash Wednesday, when the murderer first struck, the police seem helpless to solve the string of senseless murders. The weeks that follow become a nightmare for the crack homicide team headed by Lieutenant Walter Koznicki, until Father Koesler breaks the madmen's code.
Here is a story with tension, excitement, intelligence, and a rare wit and humor. Kienzle painstakingly leads you through every step in an intensive police investigation of heinous series of murders. Police procedure and Pulitzer Prize-winning newspaper reporting are as much a part of the action as the crimes themselves.
With superb control of the novel's movement, Kienzle can tantalize at a tortoise's pace and torment with a breakneck hare's pace.
As for the non-clerical characters in this book, they are all constructed out of spit and cardboard. The premise itself (the bumping off of 8 nuns and priests) is just outlandish. When Kienzle wrote this novel back in the day, serial killers were all the rage, accounting for its popularity I suppose. But even books on bestseller lists can be offensive schlock. "The Rosary Murders" certainly fits into that category.

The story is a great first novel. The begining of a lot of great novels in the series. I bought the kindle version and the proofreader and editor should be sent to Siberia. Missing pages, duplicate pages.
I finally finished this book, but it was a little difficult for me. I wanted to see how the mystery and plot worked out and so I did. I had trouble in two areas. The first was that I kept waiting for that place in the book where you are finally so grabbed by the plot that you are compelled to finish as soon as possible. Sadly, I never found that. Secondly, I was a put off by a number of ethnic and sexual slurs that would not be acceptable if published today. The book was written over 20 years ago. The murder concept was intriguing, but you have to work to get through this one.
Got the book then I think I got it on my , I buy and read so many books, but I wanted to see if the movie which I seen first follow the book, it was close. Both where great, as you can see I am not great at writing sentences, more of a talker. Robert
I remember these books from years ago and started reading them again on my . They're still really good and as far as I'm concerned stand the test of time very well. Worth reading for the mystery side as well as learning more about the Catholic Church, their practices in the past as well as the changes to them since Vatican II.
The story is well written and kept me guessing the entire time which is rare for me. The story flows nicely and there isn't too much unnecessary detail dragging down the story. It did take a little time to get used to all of the religious references and vocabulary, some of which stop me up when reading but that is because I read aloud to others. Other than the tongue trip ups, the story is great, the characters are easy to relate to and there is nothing so far out there it seems silly or impossible from a murder mystery stand point.
I plan on reading more of his stories.
It is not surprising that this book was written by a disgruntled ex-priest. It reeks of anti-Catholic bigotry. The many priests who appear in its pages are universally loathsome those who are not drunks, gluttons or just plain stupid are contemptuous of the very flocks they are supposed to shepherd. What any faithful Catholic would consider heretical is excused by the author as "pastoral" and completely reasonable, while orthodoxy is mocked as cruel and stupid.
