When Father Bredder gets involved with murder--Heaven only knows what will happen next...

Named "A Red Badge Novel of Suspense" alongside Agatha Christie, Michael Innes, and Hugh Pentecost, The Father Bredder Mysteries, written by Leonard Wibberley under the pen name Leonard Holton, inspired a television show starring George Kennedy.

★★★★★ “Another wonderful read from Leonard Holton. His writing is a joy and the story is up lifting and suspenseful at the same time. Another great read."—Amazon Review

This boxed set includes the following three books in the series:

BOOK 7: A Touch of Jonah

Father Bredder finds himself embroiled in a mystery reminiscent of Murder on the Orient Express set on a boat during the Transpac Yacht Race to Honolulu. Father Bredder joins the crew of the Fair Maid to determine if the captain of the boat is cursed or if someone is trying to kill him.

BOOK 8: Problem in Angels

When Father Bredder was persuaded to attend a concert by a string quartet, he expected an evening without much excitement. But when the first violinist dies of an apparent heart attack, Father Bredder can't help but take note. As he conducts his investigation, he uncovers a history of murder and revenge dating back to World War II, all intermeshed with the story of an old and valuable violin.

BOOK 9: The Mirror of Hell

Lt. Minardi's 16-year-old daughter attends a summer drama and cheerleading program at a local college, where students begin turning up dead. While investigating the case, Minardi and Father Bredder uncover a conspiracy of drug-dealing and murder.

The complete series is also available in an 11-book boxed set.

Editorial Reviews

Review

★★★★★ "Another wonderful read from Leonard Holton. His writing is a joy and the story is up lifting and suspenseful at the same time. Another great read."--Amazon Review

"Father Joseph Bredder is one of the most satisfactory of religious detectives, with commendably greater interest in saving a soul than in solving a case."--The New York Times

"Father Joseph Bredder is a fascinating investigator; full of suspense and good humour."--John O'London's

"The priest-sleuth is a warm, human figure and a welcome newcomer to the amateur detective ranks."--Manchester Evening News

"A rattling good yarn... the type of mystery the reader will find himself most reluctant to put down."--Lewiston Journal
