About this listen

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

Sister Joan heads to the serene shores of Loch Morag for a spiritual retreat in a cave up a steep hill. She’s hoping for peace and quiet, but she soon finds trouble. Six years ago, the womanizing husband of the local store-owner disappeared. Then the minister’s wife died of an overdose. Was it an accident or suicide? Then, after a sudden storm, a body surfaces in the loch. What’s going on? The grumpy villagers don’t want to talk about it. Sister Joan must abandon her solitude to search for the killer and unearth the truth.

A bit too late easily seen up in the end. Gaps in the story but it was okay

An interesting read. Well written, with a murder, a love story, a clever and wise nun, and plenty of gentle and intuitive insight. Lovely to read a book that leaves the reader feeling positive and satisfied that life goes on well. Great there is no foul language nor over the top aggression. Well read. Didn’t guess who did it - always a good sign! 😊👍

Wonderful series!
