Customer Reviews

the prodigal nun

Love this series. The writers are entertaining and logical. There is no second guessing their books.

Death of a parishioner

Sister Agatha, of Our Lady of Hope Monastery, is an extern nun who takes care of dealing with the outside world in matters relating to the convent. Having been a journalist in her previous life, she maintains a lively curiosity about mysterious things that happen at Our Lady of Hope. When Jane Sanchez, an active parishioner, dies on the convent grounds Sister Agatha feels guilty since Jane had requested a visit with her before she died. She pursues her own investigation, sometimes frustrating her old friend Sheriff Tom Green. This series is filled with gentle humor, such as calling the aged convent vehicle the "AntiChrysler", and its usual cast of characters are more fully developed as the series continues.

Sister Agatha mystery

Great mystery that puts the nuns in danger. Anything at this convent is exciting. She again puts a mystical experience with her book. The mystery and mystical are partnered beautifully. The authors make the nuns very human and approachable and realistic.

Sister Agatha Rocks!

This is an excellent book if you like the series. It's an easy hard back book to hold and large enough fonts.
