Sister Veronica returns in the sequel to The Convent. "Such a good read . . . a cosy mystery but has, like Christie's Miss Marple books, a very dark side." -Love Books, Read Books
Would you follow him into darkness?
Sister Veronica is back at the Convent; a changed woman as a result of her experiences with the corrupt clergy and the murder she lived through.
Now-more than ever-she has a thirst for righting wrongs, even if it means getting herself into danger.
So, when a two-month-old baby girl is left on the Convent doorstep one night, wrapped up in dirty blankets and placed in an open cardboard box, Sister Veronica steps in to help solve the mystery.
And when she discovers a tarot card left with the baby, she is drawn deeper into the search for the mother.
Sister Veronica sets out on a mission to discover the truth, and in doing so begins to peel back the layers of secrecy and lies. But is she really prepared for what she'll discover?
Praise for the Sister Veronica Mysteries
"A fast-moving psychological thriller about murder and corruption within the Roman Catholic Church." -Crime Fiction Lover
"I love Sister Veronica! This book was not what I was expecting, but I really enjoyed it. The mystery is compelling and keeps becoming more so as Sister Veronica and her friends discover the depth of the corruption and willingness to kill to cover it up." -Avonna Loves Genres
"These are most definitely books with their own, unique stories and characters. They are well worth reading, well written and very engaging." -Love Books, Read Books
