Advent of Dying

Summary: Great book--shouldn't be listed as new, though!
Review: I recently bought this book from Amazon, since I saw that it was published Nov. 2001. Great, I thought, a new book by Sister Carol Anne! Nope, it's an oldie (1986) with a new cover. So now I have 2 copies of the same book. Well, I'm rereading it and enjoying it again. Fortunately, at my age, my memory isn't as good as it used to be and the story seems fresh to me. Sister Carol Anne is a master storyteller and her mysteries are supreme. You can't go wrong with her books--even the second time around! :o)

Summary: Miss Marple in a wimple.
Review: Sister Mary Helen is amazed to hear her quiet and very shy secretary belting out the blues in a San Francisco bar. The good sister is baffled but pleased to see her friend blossoming, even if under somewhat questionable circumstances. The next day, however, Sister finds the young woman brutally murdered. Since Sister Mary Helen is an avid fan of paperback mysteries, she decides she to see if she can unravel this one.

You'll have the murderer figured out pretty quickly in this one, but it's light and amusing reading.

Review: This book was a treat! Put the Snoop Sisters, Miss Marple, Father Dowling all together and this one is still better! Characters were well defined, had a sense of humor, all the loose ends were tied up --- bless the fiesty old nun!
