Sister, what happened?,
This review is from: Death of an Angel: A Sister Mary Helen Mystery (Sister Mary Helen Mysteries) (Mass Market Paperback)
I have read all but one of Sister's mystery books. I find them light-hearted and fun reading. Also, believe it or not, the author manages to insert some theology in there too. This is something I appreciate since I am a Catholic school religion teacher. Sr. Mary Helen is a pleasant, quaint character and so is her cohort, Sr. Eileen. This book is a fun read also, but it does seem to present a prejudice against the plump. The author has definitely taken a creative leap here compared with her other books and it really did pay off. The ending is very dramatic and fresh, but the author's and, sadly, society's disdain for the hefty of humanity shines through more than was intended. C'mon Sister you can do better than that!

Not one of her best,
By A Customer
This review is from: Death of an Angel: A Sister Mary Helen Mystery (Sister Mary Helen Mysteries) (Mass Market Paperback)
Expecting a special treat, I set aside time to read this new (to me) book from Carol Anne O'Marie. This one had no real "mystery" and the Sisters fell into the solution. I usually reccommend her books to several people, instead I did to one person who, also, was not impressed. It's a shame, I am hoping that next one I try is more to the style that I've become accustomed to expect. Do NOT pick this as you first one to try.

Death of an Angel,
By thomas brawley (Tewksbury, ma United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Death of an Angel: A Sister Mary Helen Mystery (Hardcover)
I have read a few of Sister Carol Ann O'Marie's books in the past, and I was hooked. They are quick reads that have great interesting story lines. It is on the line of a "Murder She Wrote.This book,"Death of an Angel" was very enjoyable. The ending was a little far fetched, but over all I enjoyed it. I want to buy all her books, I'm sure they are all enjoyable. Great for a before bedtime read or on a rainy afternoon. Tom
