Out of the Depths by Leonard Holton
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
This is the first I’ve read of Father Bredder and I like the character a lot. Written with deep respect of the Catholic Church, molding the character with reserved humility and encasing the story as a Father might do themselves, the title, for instance. Doubt a mass market book like this could be published today.
The story is well plotted, though the mystery was obvious to me from the start. I believe the reason for this is the perspective of what has happened since this book was published in 1966. Curious if what was going on was obvious to others.
All of the characters are well described, if not too much so. For a short book of 157 pages the characters are well detailed. There are also other parts of the book that are very well handled from scuba diving to gardening. For a short book, this top notch author used a minimum of words to great effect.
Bottom line: I recommend this book. 8 of 10 points.
