Synopsis

"For decades, the unsolved murder of Father Michael Leary has haunted Billings, Montana, the community he served. Who summoned the priest late one autumn night, then left his body in a sandstone gully for the ravens and other wild scavengers? And it’s haunted no one more than Lindsay Keller, who admired and confided in him as a teenager. Compelled by his example to work for justice, she became a prosecutor. But after a devastating case left her shattered, she fled the rough-and-tumble for the safety of a desk, handling real-estate deals and historic preservation projects. It's good work, but not what she’d dreamed of. Now Lindsay finds herself in possession of the priest’s wallet, the photo of a young girl tucked inside. She’s sure that she knows the girl and that it’s tied to his death. But how? Detective Brian Donovan, a hot-shot Boston transplant, would like nothing more than to solve the county’s coldest case. Probing the life and death of Father Leary takes Lindsay and Donovan deep into long-simmering tensions in this seemingly peaceful place. Then another woman far away digs up unexpected clues about her own family’s past—a history rooted in a shocking truth—and her questions bring her to Lindsay and the detective. But the dangerous answers could rock the community to its very core."

Goodreads review by James on April 29, 2023

Blind Faith is the second release from Alicia Beckman, whose books written under a different name have previously appeared on my reading list many times. I enjoy several of the author's cozy amateur sleuth series, and so naturally I would want to read her more suspense/thriller ones. Set across mult......more

Goodreads review by Janelle on August 29, 2022

An excellent crime/mystery novel set in Montana. It jumps around in time quite a bit over decades and is relatively slow paced making it an intricate and involved read. At first I thought it was just too much detail but it does build a good portrait of all the various characters and the their inter-......more

Goodreads review by Danielle on May 31, 2022

A horrible crime happened many decades ago in Billings, Montana. A leader in the community, Father Michael Leary, was murdered! The case went cold without a suspect identified. Lindsay Keller was a teenager at the time and had a good relationship with Father Leary and was always troubled that it was......more

Goodreads review by Jennifer on September 28, 2023

There is a lot going on in this story and can be very confusing in the beginning. Not sure if I’d have been able to follow along on audio alone. The book is told in multiple points of view and timelines. Lots of who what and why for a missing priest found dead. Years later the case has become a cold c......more
