All the characters are charmingly kooky and fun. This is a good beginning for a new series.

But, lately, it hasn't been easy. Especially now that her soon-to-be-married mother has witnessed a murder-in a confessional, no less. Shortly after Maura O'Hara arrived at the church, Father Billy Blake-controversy-plagued priest, anti-death penalty activist, and spiritual advisor to a notorious hit man-was shot dead. It's no secret that Father Blake had a number of enemies-from a scheming drug lord to a dangerous clan on death row. Coming up with a list of suspects isn't the problem. Jake's more worried about keeping her mother out of harm's way. For she's unknowingly stepping into a tangled web of mystery and murder-one that ties into the deadly sins of the past...
