Advent Season
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 17 years ago
An oldie(the second) in the Sister Mary Helen series. ADVENT OF DYING is a warm read with well drawn characters. The nun is shocked to discover her secretary brutally murder when she arrives to reclaim her prayer book, which contains a mystery she wants to finish before Advent. Police Inspector Dennis Gallagher wants her saying her rosary and off the case, but his partner Kate Murphy doesn't have the heart to tell the determined nun to mind her own business. It take all three to solve the baffling murder when they know so little about the victim. Good read for a chilly night, maybe hidden in your prayer book cover. Nash Black, author of TRAVELERS and SINS OF THE FATHERS.

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!
