Publisher's summary

The complete series 1-5 of the thrilling mystery series. On sabbatical from the Franciscan order, Father Paolo Baldi is working as a philosophy lecturer in Dublin when his life takes an unexpected turn and he finds himself helping the police to solve crimes.

Along with Tina, Paolo uncovers the truth behind the killings of several rockabilly band members, a high-profile case of a police officer’s murder, as well as delving into the highly competitive world of celebrity chefs. He also exposes a rift in a community of environmental activists, enters the world of romantic poetry to solve a suspected suicide, investigates the killing of a politically-incorrect figurehead, and finds that the death of a homeless man is not as simple as it appears.

Follow the priest-cum-sleuth’s thrilling adventures as he solves mysteries throughout Ireland.

David Threlfall, Tina Kellegher and T.P. McKenna star in this exciting series written by Simon Brett, Bill Murphy, Andrew Martin, Martin Meenan, John Murphy and Francis Turnly in the series created by Barry Devlin.

Good fun but not the BBC's best effort

This series is very well produced, as you'd expect from BBC radio. The main characters are fun but the plots become pretty formulaic and the Father Baldi's stuffy academic act repetitive. "You phone the Internet?" Really?

bummer.

the thing was well done. I loved the characters! especially. Father Paolo. #WANNABETHAT but the stories got too graphic and sordid for me. I'm returning it. I just can't go there. especially the religious cult/torture stuff. not for me, guys. glad for the audible guarantee.

Well Acted Mystery Series

The stories address real world issues while solving interesting mysteries. Had the series continued, I would have wanted to see more success from Tina.

Surprisingly entertaining. Refreshingly challenging. The subtle tension that exists betweem the two maim characters captures the reader's imagination regarding a potential love interest.

Great

Really good mystery series that has a lot of theological depth. My two frustrations are that it’s never explained how Baldi continues to extend his sabbatical, especially at the end of series (season) 1. Second, the final episode was anticlimactic and left more to be desired, but as they say “always leave them wanting more.”

I will definitely listen to this series again, especially the episode with Martin Clunes (Doc Martin).

The Best Series I've ever listened to....

I can't say enough good things about this series--you feel like you are standing near Baldi and Tina and can eavesdrop on their conversations. A must for anyone who is new or old to full cast audiobook performances. Thank you BBC4!!!

A good series

Easy listening, well read with good stories. I really enjoyed listening to the Irish accents even if they were difficult to understand at times!
