Half Past Nun: A Sister Mary Teresa Mystery
Wily octogenarian Sister Mary Teresa continues to dispense sensible advice and unravel mysteries with scholarly precision. While struggling to breathe new life into the moribund Order of Martha and Mary, Sister Mary Teresa also finds time to assist Lieutenant Richard Moriarity of the Chicago Police Department in solving a gruesome series of homicides perpetrated by a vicious stalker. Without ever leaving the comfortable confines of her Walton Street convent, she manages to link the unfortunate victims to a long-defunct classics club that included several of her former pupils as members. A cleverly crafted caper that reaches back in time to unveil a festering motive for murder. Entertaining fare for armchair detectives.Margaret Flanagan
