I'm not sure why I was surprised that a story about a hit man who was sent back in time by an angel to become a monk and solve a problem, would be a religious story. Less action and more explanation of back story than I like, but still solid writing. I hadn't known that the author has written several series on religious themes since the vampire stories. It's been a long time since I read them. ( )

Great idea...enjoyed the angel theme...little thin in plot - little kitschy but love the concept. Writing always good ( )

This was shockingly awful from an author I love. ( )

I liked the modern portions of the story with Toby in the hotel but once the Angel became involved, the trip to the past, etc, the book just did not hold me. I scanned through a few more chapters and then just gave up entirely.
I just love so many of her books: Servant of the Bones, Cry to Heaven, Violin, The Mummy and the first few Vampire books too. I should have been a shoe-in for it. Sadly, not. ( )

Rice’s preoccupation with matters of conversion and faith pad out this short story into a tiresome historical novel that betrays frustrating glimpses of her old storytelling prowess... Angel Time is an unholy mishmash of crime story, detective novel, and second-rate inspirational fiction, but at least a Christian housewife or two will get an education on the horrors of the medieval blood-libel tradition. It’s nowhere near as much fun to be with Rice in heaven instead of hell; a little sin would do her writing a world of good.

Likewise, I say unto you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner that repenteth. - Luke 15:10 King James Version
