About this listen

The complete series 1-5 of the thrilling mystery series. On sabbatical from the Franciscan order, Father Paolo Baldi is working as a philosophy lecturer in Dublin when his life takes an unexpected turn and he finds himself helping the police to solve crimes.

Along with Tina, Paolo uncovers the truth behind the killings of several rockabilly band members, a high-profile case of a police officer’s murder, as well as delving into the highly competitive world of celebrity chefs. He also exposes a rift in a community of environmental activists, enters the world of romantic poetry to solve a suspected suicide, investigates the killing of a politically-incorrect figurehead, and finds that the death of a homeless man is not as simple as it appears.

Follow the priest-cum-sleuth’s thrilling adventures as he solves mysteries throughout Ireland.

David Threlfall, Tina Kellegher and T.P. McKenna star in this exciting series written by Simon Brett, Bill Murphy, Andrew Martin, Martin Meenan, John Murphy and Francis Turnly in the series created by Barry Devlin.

As a dramatisation with a full cast, I can certainly recommend ‘Father Paolo Baldi Mysteries’. I thoroughly enjoyed the whole 20 hrs & 24 minutes. I hope the cast returns with series 6 -10 to continue where it leaves us at the end of series5. Such interesting cases and so easy to listen to. Very exciting. Please make more ! I love this Audible series. Thankyou to the whole cast!

This is definitely my very favourite Audible book.

Enjoyable short stories that a perfect for driving.
Not great literature or over complex just an interesting group of people that you wanted to hear about.
A bit disappointed that they fell in to the trap of making the senior policemen thick which was a bit humdrum.

Great for the car.

The stories are beautifully performed, the narration is lovely and the characters very likeable. But the storyline plots are mind-numbingly predictable. Overall, sadly disappointing but good if you need help getting to sleep.

Not in the league of the Agatha Christie mysteries
