Summary: A good series is getting back on track
Review: This latest entry in the series featuring Chris Bennett is one of the best since the ex-nun solved her first murder. Although there is still a lot of time spent describing Chris's day to day activities with and without her son and husband, much more of the activity is actually important to the final solution. Chris also seems to be making the transition to the 'real' world. The character doesn't worry so much about things the rest of us would take for granted. She actually buys an airplane ticket to Florida without reminding the reader that she never used to carry more than a dollar with her at any time. There was also no last minute trip to the convent for help with the solution. Sister Joseph makes an appearance but really doesn't help to solve this one. Maybe it's because Chris is once again working to solve an old puzzle rather than a current murder case that her personality and methodology seem less abrasive and her questions somehow less intrusive.

Summary: Interesting with many twists
Review: While sorting through her late aunt's papers and photos, Chris Bennett comes across a few artifacts that sadden her. Her aunt attended two funerals within a very short period of time for people Chris didn't know. Chris is curious, she spent alot of those years as a nun, and didn't have much contact with the outside world. As an attempt to connect with her aunt's past, she decides to find out who these people were. She never dreamed that they were both murdered. Even though the two men lived in different states, with very different lives, one a retarded young man who lived in a group home, and the other a rich industrialist, they were wearing each other's sneakers!This was a different sort of mystery. On the surface, it was a typical amateur detective story, her hook is that she is a wife, mother and former nun. The plot however, twists and turns in many ways. You almost dislike some of the characters you loved in the beginning, and you mistrust everyone, almost.
