I read the first book and stopped after that. Mark Bello does have a good style of writing, but I wasn't impressed with the use of foul language or the sexual content. As for the plot of the book, I thought it was well done--plenty of court-room drama and all that. Sexual abuse in the Catholic church is a problem that needs to be addressed, not covered up. Kids need to be kids.

While Bello's style of writing is good, I didn't have the heart to go on to book two. I think if it had been cleaner, I might have continued onward. ( )
