Review "A young New Orleans lawyer endures death and unrequited love in Thompson's atmospheric legal and religious thriller."--Kirkus Reviews"[T]his complex novel adopts changing perspectives and narrators to impart its story; and while that device could have proved confusing in lesser hands, Alan Thompson's approach succeeds in creating a winning saga . . . It's difficult to capture all the nuances of the story without revealing too many of its twists and turns: suffice it to say that The Nun's Dowry . . . is recommended for readers who like their stories well detailed, winding, and filled with food for thought." - D. Donovan, Senior Reviewer, Midwest Book Review

0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. An intricate and compelling read By Sharon Set in 1960's New Orleans where the the Catholic church reigns and elite Creole families use and abuse the church's power, The Nun's Dowry takes us on an intricate search to discover who is entitled to inherit a young nun's money and property. The connections between family and church, past and present weave a spider's web of corruption and abuse. None of the characters emerge unscathed as we learn about their involvement in the case. Alan Thompson knows the law and his novel unfolds with the methodical pace of a high stakes legal argument. The pleasure of reading The Nun's Dowry comes in solving the jigsaw puzzle of the case against the backdrop of the city of New Orleans with its mansions, its red light district in Storyville, its cemeteries and convents.

Senchak Set in New Orleans and other Louisiana sites, locations and ancestry play major roles in the labyrinth of discovery that propels us to the conclusion of this thought provoking drama. Skillful sleuths will enjoy scratching clues from the polished veneer of Thompson’s storytelling. Vivid character descriptions give us people to admire and despise as we follow the complex plot weaving a tapestry of lives involving sex, prestige, money, power, love and abuse. To say more would be to tell too much. Enjoy it. I did.

Just when I thought I had it figured out (who did what to whom?), I had to return to the drawing board. Thompson's description of the New Orleans area and the Catholic Church in the 60's was well researched. A real page turner, this is his best book ever. I would love to see it made into a movie.
