Attorney Elizabeth Campbell turned her back on her silver spoon upbringing and finds emotional fulfillment in her work at a nonprofit legal clinic, much to the dismay of her parents. Her propensity for bending the law, as well as uttering a few choice phrases, makes her pairing with a Catholic priest to investigate the case of a simple man with an IQ of a child, who confessed to a brutal killing, a challenge. But solving a gruesome murder is not even her greatest trial—it’s her growing attraction to sexy but cranky Detective Grace Donovan who is hell-bent on keeping her client in prison. While chasing a mystery that found its way from the concentration camps of WWII to an abandoned Catholic school, Elizabeth and Grace struggle to set personal boundaries, as their relationship slowly evolves from one of hostility to indifference, to something neither wishes to define.

"Extraordinary debut!
First and foremost its well deserving of Ms.Mathieu for taking the risk with both the topic and subject matters which were all interwoven both in the well told storylines and plot twists from the first page to the very last -- which to me & other interested readers needed all this information because it sure was one glorious tale. It might easily be one of the best books so far that i have read this year (2017) This story involved:- little romance but lots of action,very suspenseful,a lot of Gov't corruption,brutal & graphic serial killings,great chemistry & connection with characters,then there was that great energy between those two leading ladies (Elizabeth & Grace) who were so very devoted to their crafts (jobs) but then on one hand so different in personalities and yet so absolutely equals when they put their minds and facts together. The author did take her time in drawing each character out - even their backstories were cleverly crafted -- plus all the scenes were set and you as readers felt the story as much as see it and as you read along prickling to the chemistry between each characters was just dynamic it really jumps off these pages. There is also rage,good dialogue,good editing,agonizing loss,conflicting and controversial stuff between the Catholic Church and their priests,betrayal,retelling of past actions & sufferings,heartbreaking,lots of past drama,well researched information by the author,fast-paced,believable moments that will stay with some readers long after the last chapter ends. Recommended to everyone!"

Sins of Our Fathers A Rose Mathieu Books Reviews
- Have to say this kept my attention throughout the whole book. The storyline kept guessing on who the villain was. But I did have trouble remembering the names since there was so many. I loved Elizabeth...I laugh many times when it came to her. It was nice reading a thriller where the love line was the main deal. Even though I would have liked to seen more of Grace. I hope there is a sequel. I definitely recommend this book.
- Excellent book could not put it down
- I really liked Sins of Our Fathers. The mystery part really keeps you guessing. But the interaction of the characters is really what holds your interest. Great book. Can't wait to read the next book.

Recommended to everyone! - Ok I didn't realize this was the first book in a series until about 60% in, and then I started liking it more. I think knowing that events wouldn't be 100% resolved by the end helped me enjoy the slow pace of getting to know the characters more. It definetly helped me enjoy the VERY slow progression of Elizabeth and Grace, since they barely speak to each other until the last 30% of the book. Again, I was totally fine with it once I realized this was the start of a series because it lent itself to being more authentic.
Which brings me to Elizabeth, the main character. She was fabulous! I loved her quirks and wit, so much so that I found myself laughing out loud at her. She's one of the more likable characters I've read lately and I loved being in her POV. Grace is ok, and I say that only because we are with Elizabeth much more. I'm guessing the second book Grace will really start to shine, as well as the chemistry between them. She has potential to be as great of a character as Elizabeth, and I have faith that the author will make this so.
Speaking of the author, it says that she's in Law on her bio page and you can tell. This book has a wonderful case going throughout, and it seemed like the author really knew what she was describing. She weaved a great mystery and I really didn't know who was connected with what.
There were a lot of characters, especially priests, that I did get a little confused during the beginning portion of the book. It took me awhile to figure out who was who and why they were important, and it didn't click for me until about the middle of the book. Maybe I'm slow, so others may have no problem with this.
I was really impressed with the authors ability to add in small little details that end up popping up later as a much bigger deal than anticipated. She was great at little foreshadows throughout, even something as simple as opening a door. It really illustrated to me how well thought out this book was.
Recommendation Buy it. I have a feeling this is the start of a great series. - I'm not usually a mystery reader, preferring more action in a thriller, but I thoroughly enjoyed this book.
The story could be very dark and it is dark in places and there is some violence, but somehow, there is a lightness that takes the grimness of some of the facts and the blackness of some of the locations away. It is so well written that I found the frightening parts scary, and if you are afraid of the dark you might want to read this in the daylight!
This book has many twists and turns that will keep you guessing until the end. You may work out the who of the story, but I suspect you won't have the why.
I received a free review copy of Sins of our Fathers by A. Rose Mathieu. No money was exchanged for this review. I will always review books as honestly as possible and on occasion I refuse to review books. - I enjoyed this book very much. It is a pleasant to find a writer in this genre who has put together a really intricate mystery plot. The story weaves through multiple characters as secrets are revealed and the body count rises. Elizabeth is a non-for-profit lawyer who becomes embroiled in the killings and is helped along the war by a priest and a detective, Grace. The romance in this book is only touched on, so I presume the next books will advance the relationship. But this isn't a love story, it is a darn good who-done-it that kept me interested to the very end. If this is the author's first novel, then it's a fine effort and I'll look forward to her books in the future. 4.5 stars
