From Publishers Weekly
In Greeley's winning sixth Blackie Ryan novel (after 2006's The Bishop in the Old Neighborhood), Ryan's boss, the archbishop of Chicago, sends Ryan to check up on Malachi Howard-Nolan, a fellow priest who's jockeying for a prestigious appointment. Blackie heads out to the compound where Nolan's extended family has gathered for a reunion and discovers that matters are both simpler and more complex than he'd imagined. Nolan turns out to be obnoxious and ambitious, but also lazy and incompetent, so his ecclesiastical aspirations aren't likely to come to much. When Nolan suffers a life-threatening attack of hornets, Blackie suspects someone in his rich, nutty family wishes him ill. There's also romance afoot: Blackie's strapping nephew finds himself attracted to Nolan's charming niece. A few chapters narrated by the nephew jar, but strong character development, snappy dialogue and a multilayered plot make this one of the better entries in the series. (Sept.)

From Booklist
Blackie Ryan returns in another predictable but fun Chicago-based whodunit featuring the usual amalgamation of stereotypical Irish-American characters. Urged by boss Cardinal Sean Cronin to assess the less-than-noble ecclesiastical ambitions of a fellow bishop, Blackwood visits the Lake Michigan shore home of his beloved sister, Dr. Mary Kate Ryan Murphy. When an attempt is made on the life of Bishop Malachai Nolan, Blackie, with the assistance of various Ryan family members, investigates a puzzling locked-room mystery. Of course, the requisite romance blossoms for two of the younger auxiliary characters. Nothing new here, but most Greeley fans won't want or expect anything beyond this comfortably familiar plot.

There is no escape...
By William E. Adams
"Every time I try to get out, they suck me back in"----paraphrase of Al Pacino's lament in "Godfather" part three about attempts to take the family mob racket into legitimate businesses. I have been reading Fr. Greeley's books for about thirty years, with quite a bit of enjoyment. His novels, however, do fall into certain formulas, and he is so prolific I do get a bit tired every now and then. Just how many affluent, talented but dysfunctional Chicago Irish families will have locked room murders or attempted ones in any given decade? Especially if the family is connected in some manner to Fr. Blackie, the assistant to the Cardinal in charge in the Windy City? I try to quit Greeley, with varying degrees of success. For instance, I have totally avoided the seven novel series about the O'Malley family in the 20th century. But I have read every Blackie Ryan mystery, six or more now, every Nuala McGrail book, ten of those, and at least ten of his other works, fiction and non-fiction. Fr. Greeley's plots are often unrealistic, his characters' dialogue and emotions either idealized or demonized to a fault, his happy endings welcome but predictable. Still, he creates a world of families with as much to be envied as to be lamented. His heroes and heroines are people you wish you knew, and for whom you root without reservation. In this latest Blackie mystery, to my surprise, I really was not certain of the villain until the end. Therefore, it counts as quite a success. I found it a slow start, and after a chapter or two I was not sure I would finish it. Then, however, some twists occurred and I became reluctant to put the book down at all. If you like Greeley's past work, this is more of the same but well-done.

I've long been a fan of Fr. Greeley's novels . . .
By David Zampino
. . . even when I find myself profoundly out of sympathy with some of his views. This is the first "Blackie Ryan" novel I've read in awhile (though I really enjoyed many of his "Beatitude" novels) and I wanted to enjoy it. I really did. And it was okay, but in the opinion of this reviewer, nothing particularly special. We have a (predictable) dysfunctional family, a (predictable) locked-room mystery, and a (predictable -- but in this case, delightful) Irish heroine.
What we DON'T have -- is a reasonable or (to my mind) believable mystery. Without providing plot spoilers (this is, after all, a mystery!) I found the motive for the crime to be lacking in realistic believability; the perpetrator weakly portrayed; and the accomplice little more than a "flat" character.
Do I have any doubt that we'll see the heroine and her erstwhile beau in later novels? Nope! I just hope that they are placed in a better plot line!
If you're into the "Blackie Ryan" mysteries -- this is good for a summer afternoon. But not much more.

Blackie's Vacation
By Opa Wayne
Cardinal Sean Cronin, Archbishop of Chicago, directs Blackie, now Coadjutor Archbishop John Blackwood Ryan with right of succession, to go with his family to Grand Beach, Michigan and take a vacation. This rather unusual directive leads Blackie into a holiday of intrigue and violence. The Bishop, of course, is required to investigate the situation and " see to" its resolution.
The first part of the story is a long scene at a family dinner. Have patience. Once you run the gauntlet of family abuse you discover a real problem to solve. This novel is unusual among Blackie Ryan stories in that it does not begin with an actual mystery. Instead the good Bishop stumbles into a puzzle quite by coincidence. Naturally the mystery involves a locked room.
Some of the characters in this story are well known to Andrew Greeley fans. Mary Kate Ryan Murphy, Blackie's sister, her husband Joe, and her son Joseph are each involved as is Peter Murphy and his wife Cindasue McLeod. Getting an update on these old friends is a treat.
Most of the story concentrates upon the relationships among the members of the Nolan family. The Nolans are very wealthy individuals who manage an aerospace company. We are introduced to Spike Nolan and his wife, Lady Anne Howard Nolan, their children and grandchildren, The conflict among these individuals becomes an interesting study in family dynamics.
For the mystery in this novel, the assaults are unique and easily solved but the perpetrator is not. Who would attempt to kill the victim? Why would they wish to do so? Was it members of the family; the caretakers of the property, competitors of the very successful family business; or Blackie himself?
Andrew Greeley integrates several bits of wisdom. Referring to a recent Papal encyclical God Is Love: Deus Caritas Est he says human passion is a sacrament that reflects God's love. He also jokingly suggests that Irish women "repealed the principle of contradiction." Finally, Blackie's guidance to a character who struggles with forgiveness is an implied testimonial to God's love.
The Bishop at the lake is an excellent mystery and an insightful reflection on family dynamics. I highly recommend this book.
