Excellent,

This review is from: A Vow Of Compassion (Hardcover)
Sister Joan really doesn't mean to become involved with all those murders that keep happening around her. She can't help having a suspicious mind, an observant eye, and a vocation that leads her to help all those who are suffering.This is another excellent entry into the Sister Joan series of mysteries set in England. The characters are well developed and enjoyable. I recommend this series to everyone. Again I also recommend that you start with the first in the series so you can enjoy the growth of the characters and the details that make this series very enjoyable.

Mother Dorothy becomes an heiress,
By
This review is from: A Vow Of Compassion (Hardcover)
Mother Dorothy's godmother is in a local hospital awaiting a hip replacement. Suddenly the shocking news comes that she has died before the operation could take place. Mother Dorothy is the sole inheritor of her godmother's estate and she uses it for various worthwhile causes. Meanwhile, other bodies begin to turn up in the hospital. The deceased seem to have no relationship to one another, but there are too many bodies for it to be a mere coincidence. Sister Joan and Detective Sergeant Mill begin investigating and are puzzled by a seeming lack of motive to tie the deaths together. Finally the detective's legwork begins to pay off and the perpetrator is revealed. As always, this is an enjoyable mystery with likeable characters and enough red herrings to keep the reader guessing to the very end.
