The Seville Communion by Arturo Perez-Reverte

I decided to branch out and read a mystery book. I found this one at a mystery book store in Tacoma. It is set in Seville and Rome. The Pope's personal computer is broken into by someone in Seville who wants the Pope to save a small church, which is scheduled to be sold to developers. Lorenzo Quart, a priest from the Pope's staff is dispatched to investigate. He meets a host of characters -- Macarena Bruner and her mother who are some of the very few parishioners who attend the church. Several mysterious murders take place of officials who come to inspect the church and Father Quart is left to piece things together. As with most mysteries who did it is a mystery until the end with plenty of suspects along the way. Entertaining but not amazing.
