Novena for Murder

Readers have come to delight in the murder-solving exploits of septuagenarian Sister Mary Helen, a nun with a nose for trouble. Publishers Weekly calls the Sister Mary Helen Mysteries 'refreshingly different'. Once you meet this spry, clever sleuth, you'll want to make a habit of reading her adventures again and again.Sister Mary Helen isn't ready for retirement. Instead she's arrived at a San Francisco women's college to teach history and perhaps shake things up. An earthquake does that before she can, and amid the rubble lies a body. An 'Act of God' is not responsible for the death, but rather murder. One of Sister Helen's fellow nuns begins a novena to St. Dismas, 'the Good Thief' predicting the saint will reveal the murderer within nine days. Sure enough the police soon nab a suspect...but Sister Mary Helen believes it's the wrong man and begins her own pursuit of the killer. Her motive is justice...and her inspiration, simply divine.
