From the Publisher
I always look forward to a new mystery by Lee Harris. Her novels about ex-nun Christine Bennett are in that central range between cozy and hardboiled -- the perfect balance. Ever since I encountered Christine Bennett in THE GOOD FRIDAY MURDER, which was nominated for an Edgar Award as best first novel, I've been fascinated by the author's depiction and development of her heroine -- Christine matures in surprising (but always believeable ways) as the series continues. It would be hard to pick my favorite Lee Harris mystery, but certainly among my favorites is THE CHRISTENING DAY MURDER, in which a thirty-year-old unsolved murder has impact on present-day menace.

A GREAT CHALLENGING MYSTERY,
By
This review is from: St. Patrick's Day Murder (Christine Bennett Mysteries) (Mass Market Paperback)
Christine Bennett spent half of her life in a convent, but left before making vows, as she realized it was not for her....she then moved to Oakwood in New York state, where her deceased aunt left her home to her... This is the 4th book in the series.....I suggest if possible, you read them in order, starting with the first one, The Good Friday Murder.....you won't be accurately choosing the villain/murderers as the author keeps us guessing right up to the end!! Christine is an intelligent, considerate, warm person who has slowly built up an intimate relationship over the course of the books, with police-detective Jack Brooks....she still has kept her friendship up with nuns from the convent and visits them frequently....There is not a thing NOT to like about Christine, Jack, nor this series.... After reading the first book, I immediately went to the bookstore and bought the entire series......I hope you, too, do the same..........you won't be disappointed, this is no "ordinary" series!

Disappointing,
By Deedee "Avid Reader" (Alexandria, VA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: St. Patrick's Day Murder (Christine Bennett Mysteries) (Mass Market Paperback)
When I read the Good Friday Murder by Lee Harris, I was delighted by the possibility the other books in here series might combine a good murder mystery with the personal story of a faithful Catholic. I am sorely disappointed. The author seems not to understand Catholic teaching and could easily mislead readers into believing that her character, Christine Bennett, is a faithful Catholic. No former nun would intentionally commit mortal sin and believe she is still a good Catholic. Beyond this glaring oversight, the prose is dismal.
