Mystery of faith underlies Michael Malone's writings

>By Martha Baker

[Episcopal Life] Michael Malone mainly writes big, fat books. That's
the good news.
There is no bad news.

Malone has written two works of nonfiction, a short story collection,
a series of mysteries and eight novels. Granted, some are slim and
trim, like Red Clay, Blue Cadillac, collected short stories about
dangerous Southern women (Charmaine is a pip). But most of his books
do not fit easily in a beach bag, nor are most fit to read in any room
from which laughter could get you booted.
