2.0 out of 5 stars
The only mystery is how this won a contest, April 21, 2004
This review is from: Sudden Death at the Norfolk Cafe (Mass Market Paperback)
There's no mystery in this book: all the criminals are identified as their crimes are revealed.
There's hardly any sleuthing, and most of it is done by the bad guys, not by Sister Cecile or her lawyer friend.
There's very little even in the way of suspense.
How did this win the Best First Private Eye Novel Contest?
The characterizations and settings are excellent, and one hopes that the author can somehow contrive to use them in a mystery one day.

"This is two stories in one with two mysterious endings.", October 31, 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: Sudden Death at the Norfolk Cafe (Mass Market Paperback)
This is a story of connected events which involves life and death situations in a world of blackmail, drugs and big money. In this corrupting world people begin to owe others but sometimes the price becomes their own life. When you get involved in criminal activities like these you pay a high price. The author Winona Sullivan has very well coincided two plots in one story. This mystery is a vow of chastity, a vow of sanctity and a vow of silence.
