Nathaniel Green's wife was dying of the cancer. When the plug is pulled in the hospital he insist that the cops arrest him for murder. He serves ten years for his part in her mercy killing. When he gets out he finds his way to Father Dowling and his day care for retired folks. His appearance splits the community, especially when he wills his considerable estate to his contemptuous sister in law he during the trial called for him to get the death penalty.
On the Five Star Scale *****
Naughty Bits () - None, although it does deal with issues of euthanasia and what constitutes murder.
Readability (*****) -264 pages of easy reading.
Sap Factor (*) - A husband who loves his wife so much that his earthly comforts are nothing compared to her eternal salvation.
Final notes (***) - This book reminded me of a Agatha Cristie novel. Not really exciting but an okay mystery that was clean.
