A Vow of Silence

Rating:
Summary: Shows a positive view of the convent and its inhabitants.
Review: Even when there are differences and problems, the women try to work things out and get through difficulties as best they can. Sister Joan can be almost too strong minded, but she also can see where she needs to work on herself and that she might be able to learn from the others around her.

Summary: Worthwhile, absorbing, wonderful main character
Review: I share the view of the prior reviewer: this book made me "want to know more" and I thoroughly enjoyed it (even if it was a little predictable). In some mysteries, the mystery is all; in others, character is all. This series is about an interesting, unpredictable, absorbing character. You will want to know Sister Joan better!

Summary: Down-to-earth, Delightful Mystery about a very savvy nun
Review: This smart, down-to-earth depiction of convent life makes me want to be a nun. Sister Joan has an irrepressible intelligence that forces her to pursue loose ends, but also has an unshakable faith and sense of who she is. I've been waiting for years for this great series to get the recognition it deserves -- I highly recommend it
