Editorial Reviews
From Booklist
On a San Francisco St. Patrick's Day, Sister Mary Helen and Sister Eileen are delivering soda bread to Monsignor Joseph P. Higgins of St. Agnes in the Sunset District. The nuns find Higgins in a tense parish council meeting, and the next day he is dead from poison. The sisters are drawn into the case since they were among the last to see Higgins alive. This eighth Sister Mary Helen novel offers vivid characters, light humor, and great views of San Francisco. Inspectors Kate Murphy and Dennis Gallagher are strong foils to the nuns; Gallagher's bluster and insight suggest an updated Lieutenant Phil Pevsner from Kaminsky's Toby Peters series. Many of the other series set in San Francisco are considerably more hard-boiled than this one, but Susan Dunlap's Kiernan O'Shaughnessy novels perhaps best capture O'Marie's spirit. John Rowen --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
