My Thoughts:
When I first started reading this I wasn't sure what to expect from the book, and the author. Absolution was riveting in the fact it was very educational about certain issues in the Catholic church. It also showed us a friendship that evolved from a tragedy that spanned years. Then as they both worked together to basically right a wrong, I felt like I was investigating this with them, and helping them to right the wrong.
I would definitely recommend this book to anyone who loves crime mysteries. This is my open and honest opinion.
