Kirkus Reviews
Not content with the four mystery series he's currently keeping afloat, Ralph McInerny offers a retrospective of four novellas and three short stories about Sister Mary Teresa Dempsey, of the Order of Mary and Martha ("the M & M's"), first published between 1988 and 1997 under the female pseudonym vainly intended to keep his name from appearing so often before the public. Though the problems may be earthy-a suspicious hit-and-run accident, a planned spouse-killing, a terrorist threatening the cop who put her away-the detection is as well-bred as you'd expect from the creator of Father Dowling (Triple Pursuit, p. 219, etc.).
