Book Review #1 - Windswept House (1996) novel by Fr Malachi Martin

In the first book review on this channel, we'll be looking at the Vatican thriller "Windswept House" by Fr Malachi Martin.

With 646 pages, this was longest book I had read in a long time. It is also the most recent book (relevant to this channel) that I've read, and I wanted to do a video on it while my memory was still fresh.

As I've stated, the book is most appropriately classified as fiction, but Fr Martin testified that the events and people described therein are all based on factual evidence and real occurrences, only that the names of the characters have been altered. The following is a link to a website that tries to match up the characters with their "real" counterparts:
