Andrew M Greeley, so far, has been a sure thing for me. There's an engaging character, witty, intelligent writing, and a good mystery. I just finished two of them and one I enjoyed, the other-not so much-to use a phrase of the day. The Bishop and the Missing L Train was terrific. The Archbishop in Andalusia was boring. I have a feeling the fault lay with me. It felt more like a explanation of current and historical Spain rather than a good mystery. There wasn't much of Bishop Blackie and his world and I, frankly, have never been much interested in Spain-again my failing, probably not that of the book.
