About this listen

The second audiobook a dramatic new mystery series set in a Cornish convent. Perfect for fans of Black Narcissus, Daphne Du Maurier and Margaret Frazer

Evil has crept into the peaceful lives of the Daughters of Compassion. At first there are only small signs of its presence. The children at Sister Joan’s school are eerily well behaved. Holy water and candles mysteriously disappear from the chapel. The beautiful au pair of one of Sister Joan’s pupils flees in the middle of the night. Then a handsome young teenager vanishes. Murder has come to this quiet corner of Cornwall. Sister Joan must battle the evil forces threatening the nuns - as well as the temptations aroused in her by the dashing police detective on the case.

"Outstanding." (Publishers Weekly)

What a refreshing read - a nun in a convent who comes to investigate (undercover) the meaning of a letter sent by a respected old nun to her original convent.
The story is very interesting, set in a modern day convent, with engaging characters of all types, I revelled in the positive vibes and lack of gratuitous violence and foul language.
I rarely write a review but this series deserves a readership. If you want a good story, and leave listening feeling positive, then this is the series for you.
I have gone on to read number 2, and am about to read number 3. Enjoy listening!

A very good series

This story was a surprise. We’ll read and quite complex the ending was quite unexpected. Sr Joan continues to fudge the edges of the convent rules in order to right a wrong and solve the crime. A good cast of supporting characters.
