Synopsis
No rest for the wicked Sister Mary Helen, still spry at seventy-something, made a perfectly innocent mistake--she had arrived at St. Colette's Retreat House a week early. Unfortunately, so had a convention of San Francisco priests. Mary Helen, accompanied by her long-suffering old friend Sister Eileen, had hoped for a few tranquil days of spiritual renewal. Instead she encountered a boisterous group of hard-drinking pastors, a crotchety cook named Beverly, a hysterical dishwasher, an inexplicably nervous resident nun... and a dead body. Someone had killed a former seminary student and left his corpse under the glorious mountain pines. The local police didn't have a prayer when it came to spotting the real culprit. But perhaps a contemplative nun--with a God-given gift for sleuthing--could see the evil that men do and the telltale clue no one else divined.... Check the Bookshare library for the other ten books in the Sister Mary Helen mystery series about the spry senior nun, gifted with investigative skills, Mary Helen and her Irish friend Sister Eileen. Full of keen observations of people and her surroundings and sprinkled with apt quotes from many sources, these mysteries are cozy, baffling and engaging. Look for: #1. A Novena for Murder, #2. Advent of Dying, #3. The Missing Madonna, #4. Murder in Ordinary Time, #5. Murder Makes a Pilgrimage, #7. Death of an Angel, #8. Death Takes up a Collection, #9. Requiem at the Refuge, #10. The Corporal Works of Murder and 11. Murder at the Monk's Table
