A former Scotland Yard detective, Father Gilbert knows about death. But, now a priest of a modest Anglican church in the small town of Stonebridge, he didn't expect it to show up like this - in the suicide of a man who threw himself off the church tower, and in the discovery of a two-hundred-year-old body beneath an ancient bridge. The deaths are linked. The mummified corpse under the bridge, a murder victim, reignites a centuries-old battle between two local families - the Todds and the aristocratic Hayshams. Then both David Todd and Lord Haysham begin to act strangely. They are fearful for reasons they won't explain. When Lord Haysham is murdered, David Todd is the prime suspect. But Todd is acting maniacal, claiming great forces of evil are at work. An entire history of violence and depravity begins to emerge - interweaving the history of several local families with a secret occult society that engages in Black Masses. Has the Society emerged again?

Welcome Back To An Old Friend By Eric Paddon "The Father Gilbert Mysteries" were first presented as a series of nine audio dramas in the Focus On The Family Radio Theater series between 2001 and 2006. They were some of the best audio dramas I've ever heard and remain for me the best and most effective use of the horror/mystery genre while remaining grounded in a Christian footing, as centered in the character of Anglican clergyman Louis Gilbert, a one-time Scotland Yard detective.Unfortunately, the audio series ended on a sad and somewhat unsatisfying note as the last two Father Gilbert stories were overly focused on issues from his troubled past and the final scene gave us a sad finish to Father Gilbert's plight (albeit open-ended). Budget cutbacks by Focus On The Family to their radio drama series (which now consists only of the occasional big project every few years) meant we weren't going to see any more Father Gilbert stories and that was something I always regretted.But now Paul McCusker has done the next best thing by bringing the character back in a new story that more importantly is set *after* the radio dramas so that allows long-time fans to no longer feel so unsatisfied by them and feel that things are picking up where they left off. It's like saying hello again to an old friend. McCusker wisely recognizes the different medium so the story does not play like a radio script and he takes advantage of the narrative device to do things that would have required more dialogue-centered action in the dramas. But the feel of the stories that made them compelling isn't affected in the least. McCusker has shown once again that the subject of horror can be done effectively in a Christian setting without the usual tendency to overly sanitize as many other Christian authors are prone to do. He also wisely allows "The Body Under The Bridge" to be an effective stand-alone story for those unfamiliar with the radio dramas, while at the same time weaving in just enough details about past stories (without spoiling their main plot resolutions) to let long-time fans know that continuity is being properly observed. Those like me who felt the best of the Gilbert audio dramas was "Dead Air" will be especially pleased to see McCusker hearken back to that one in an important way that also hints for more compelling stories to come.While there can never be the perfect satisfaction I'd feel in seeing the Gilbert audio dramas resumed, Paul McCusker has at least done the next best thing possible and for that I and many other Father Gilbert fans thank him tremendously and we look forward to the next novel!

By Jalynn Patterson About the Book:A former Scotland Yard detective, Father Gilbert knows about death. But, now a priest of a modest Anglican church in the small town of Hailsham, he didn't expect it to show up like this--in the suicide of a man who threw himself off the church tower, and in the discovery of a two-hundred-year-old body beneath an ancient bridge.The deaths are linked. The mummified corpse under the bridge, a murder victim, reignites a centuries-old battle between two local families--the Todds and the aristocratic Hayshams. Then both David Todd and Lord Haysham begin to act strangely, fearful for reasons they won’t explain.When Lord Haysham is murdered, David Todd is the prime suspect. But Todd is maniacal, claiming great forces of evil are at work. An entire history of violence and depravity begins to emerge, interweaving the history of several local families with a secret occult society that engages in Black Masses. Has the Society emerged again?My Review: A mystery that has a murder or two that are linked together. Father Gilbert soon comes across the two bodies and remembers that there are two families involved. The two families are in a feud that has lasted many centuries now this--it isn't looking so great right now. This is a murder mystery of all murder mysteries. It takes you back in time and with some history there, as well. It takes you through creepy findings as well as science that becomes involved through DNA. It is very in our time period but also takes you back through how these families become estranged from one another. It's not too far into the story that you find that Father Gilbert has his own demons to face. The plot has many twists and turns and the plot thickens as it goes along. There is a touch of demonic forces involved which makes this story even scarier, I feel. A very involved story perfect for a dark dreary night in. The author did a good job of scaring me with this one. This is number one in the Father Gilbert Mysteries. A great start!**Disclosure** This book was sent to me free of charge for my honest review from the author.
1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. I didn't want to put it down, but it was a bit unnerving too By seasons of grace Wow, this book was unlike anything I had expected! It was suspenseful, mysterious, intriguing and captivating, and at times plain ol' scary! In spite of the fact, that at times I wasn't sure I wanted to read any more, at the same time, I could not quit reading. And would pick up another one of this series in a heart beat. I had no knowledge of Father Gilbert previous to this series, that said, I have already listened to several of his radio theatre dramas with Father Gilbert since finishing this book.Father Gilbert is a Scotland Yard detective turned priest of an Anglican church in England. After an encounter with more than just the day to day evil, a supernatural evil force, Gilbert left Scotland yard and pursued a closer relationship with God. He takes a church in a small town, controlled by certain families who also have an ongoing long term family feud. Over petty matters? Or maybe something much more sinister is involved.Father Gilbert is about to be faced with evil centuries old. A body is discovered under the bridge on Lord Haysham's property. Along with the body a medallion bringing with it an age old curse, which makes things worse and worse as they get closer to the truth. Although he is a priest, Father Gilbert wastes no time using his detective skills to help solve the mystery of the death as well as the other deaths that seem to be imminent. Will they be able to discover the secrets from the past and put them to rest before the whole town is wiped out?My son has read many of Paul's books. I was thinking he would be able to read this one once I finished, but I have decided it is a little bit mature for his age, so I wouldn't recommend it to younger children. There is alot of demonic, Satanic evil discussed in this book. There is violence and death, witchcraft and the occult practices. Of course it is written in a captivating and intriguing way that keeps the reader on the edge of their seat, yet unwilling to quit reading. But at the same time, to me it was a bit creepy. Maybe because I know these things are not far fetched, but a reality of the spiritual world. Father Gilbert has visions and possibly even out of body experiences. Sometimes he has a hard time deciphering reality. Yet he is always right on, and many times knows in advance what is going to happen. A gift from God?This is a story of the forces of good verses evil. How greed, selfishness, and getting involved with the wrong "stuff" can get you in big trouble. But it is also a book about the power of God over the devil. Fear that is overcome with help from the Lord. I simply recommend that it be read with caution by an age appropriate audience. It can get a bit gory at times.I was provided this book by the publisher in exchange for my honest opinion. I was not required to give a positive review.
