    The Heart of an Angel, is the seventh and final book in the award winning, best selling, Angelic Letters Series. After five decades, the family of characters which readers have lived with, cried with, prayed with, laughed with, attended their weddings and funerals, finally plays out in this epic, heart-stopping, unforgettable saga. You will be right there with Henry as he is once again faced with the possibility of losing the love of his life. While Jenny is lying in a coma, much like his first wife Julean was, Henry struggles with the formidable task of deciding whether to terminate the child Jenny is carrying in her womb or risk delivering the baby at Jenny’s peril. He knows only too well what Jenny would want him to do, but the thought of losing Jenny again is unthinkable. The entire gamut of emotions run so high and deep it will be as if you are in the character’s skin. Father Engelmann was assigned two tasks by his guardian angel, Zachariah during his near-death experience. His first mission upon his return, to write the love story of Henry and Jenny, is almost completed. But what about the second task that he was asked to carry out during his brief stint on the other side? What future vision was Father allowed to see on the doorsteps to heaven? What was so compelling that he quickly agreed to put off entering into his heavenly home and instead, returned to the land of the living? Come, join us at Henry’s acreage as this breath-taking adventure of love plays itself out. The twists and turns of fate will keep you gripping the book tighter and tighter as this epic story comes to a conclusion that surprises and satisfies beyond the reader’s most wishful imaginings; an ending only angels can bring about.

    Nate Gadol is a great big spirit with eyes as shiny as golden coins and a smile that is lantern bright. He can make anything last as long as it is needed, like a tiny bit of oil that must stretch for eight nights, a flower that needs to stay fresh to cheer up someone ailing, or a small lump of chocolate that grows to allow the Glasers to treat their children over the holiday and, during a harsh winter when medicine is needed more than sweets, spurs them to share what little they have with the O'Malleys. This charming holiday hybrid story offers a mythical, magical take on the way Jewish families came to give and receive gifts over Hanukkah, just as their Christian neighbors do at Christmas, thanks to a loving spirit working behind the scenes—together with a certain jolly old soul!

    "Thank heavens. Father Koesler is back!" —Cedar Rapids Gazette

    "In the solving of the mystery, Koesler is challenged by a wealth of thought-provoking issues. With the familiar Kienzle twists and turns, the reader is forced to examine personal thoughts about religion, sin, and of course, the greatest evil."—Oakland Press

    From William X. Kienzle, author of the classic mystery, The Rosary Murders. The redoubtable Father Robert Koesler is preparing to welcome into his parish Father Zachary Tully. An obstacle to Father Tully's assumption of his duties is suddenly put forth by the bishop, Vincent Delvecchio, a man Father Koesler has known since seminary days. An evening of talk leads Koesler and Tully into a discussion about the difficult bishop. As Father Koesler tries to explain the character of Delvecchio and his relationship to the many people in their common past, our holy sleuth uncovers a murder that had previously gone unnoticed. What will he do? In The Greatest Evil, author William X. Kienzle was in top form. His 20th Father Koesler whodunit is packed with Kienzle's signature twists and turns, all featuring the venerable vicar who often becomes a wise and wary investigator. As Father Koesler begins solving the mystery behind Delvecchio's demanding nature, the priest puzzles over an extremely odd set of circumstances. Kienzle reveals sacred and sober secrets at just the right moment to achieve the author's intended effect. The combination makes for the kind of spellbinding story that mystery buffs came to expect from Kienzle.

    The Gathering was the 24th in Kienzle's series of mysteries, featuring Father Robert Koesler as a Roman Catholic priest whose intuitiveness and caring nature have led him to an unusual calling: solving mysteries, mostly of the murderous kind.In this entry, revisit Koesler's adolescent and teen years, to a time when young Catholic men and women were encouraged, even expected, to become priests and nuns, whether or not their vocation was real. We meet his group of six young aspiring religious (four men and two women) who underwent the rigors of the seminary and the convent together. We learn of their individual struggles with their faith, their mentors and their commitments to difficult choices. And we painfully discover how one member of this group is inflicted with undeserved guilt by an unspeakably cruel superior and how this dooms his life. Now in their seventies, the group gathers together, a reunion of sorts, that is cut short when one of their number is found dead. Suspicions arise, and once again Father Koesler's acumen is called on to solve the puzzle.
