Not having read very many mysteries in my life I didn't expect to be so addicted to this series. I hope to read another (they *are* very fast reads) soon. I love the '80s and early '90s look into a convent rocked by Vatican II and the fallout among women religious almost as much as the mysteries themselves. And then there is the ever present danger that the aging Emtee Dempsey (Sister Mary Teresa) has finally lost her touch for solving the impossible and is going to publicly humiliate herself and the Order of Mary and Martha once and for all. Of course she never does and there is always a twinkle in her eye ( she certainly knows most everyone considers her on the verge of senility) and an air of patience about her as she sets about proving her solutions.

Really not so good, though I feel I "know" the nuns in their Chicago milieu.

Pencilled in on the flyleaf: This Book Is Property of HIGHLAND PARK PRESBY. CHURCH. Would have preferred Jay to stick with his specialty and hace the nuns smoke crack in the chapel.
