Whenever we travel for more than an hour, I like to have books on audio available. I was disappointed in this selection. I was expecting mysteries that Father Gilbert solves. Instead, the story focused on the drama in his life and unexpected family secrets. The first production, "The Silver Cord" involved a mystery but was not central to the plot and hardly any time was given to it.
The acting and the story lines are superb. "Mystery" in the title, however, is a misnomer. I would call these "dramas". Maybe the ones we listened to were ones that were more family secrets than mystery? In the introduction, the producer warns listener that mature themes are prevalent and recommends the audience to be fifteen-years-old and older.
Spoiler alert:The second production reveals that Father Gilbert had intimacy with his girlfriend before marriage (before he was following Christ and had become a priest). Unknown to him, she became pregnant and raised their daughter on her own and then with the man she eventually married.
