DEATH IN HIGH PLACES In Miami, murder is nothing special. But the brutal slaying of Elliot Barclay proves otherwise. He was rich and he knew the right people. And a few wrong ones too, as beautiful... This description may be from another edition of this product.
Just as the title says. It's a fun, little mystery but much more complex and rich characters than the other Sister Cecile books. A nun detective piecing together clues to solve a case. Great read while you're on vacation.
Winona Sullivan has hit her stride with this mystery.

After I read A Sudden Death at the Norfolk Cafe and Dead South, I wasn't sure if I'd bother to read Death's a Beach. I wasn't crazy about the first two books in the Sister Cecile series. However, this is the best of the three books. Good characters. Interesting situations. Held my interest all the way through.
I enjoyed this story of a nun detective.

I have just encountered another woman detective, in Death's a Beach. Author Winona Sullivan follows her P.I. nun into her second [and not last, I hope] case, where she is operating from a home for senior nuns and other seniors. The scenes and action come alive, showing the Everglades, Miami Beach, the gangsters, a sympathetic Miccosukee policeman, and another not-so-honest policeman. I was particularly drawn to the teenage ward of Sister Cecile and Jim Cypress, the Miccosukee 'good-cop.' The relationships and mutual understanding among the likeable and not-likeable characters were skillfully developed.
