Review
'Agnes is a fascinating and complicated woman who inevitably looks at the world from an oblique angle' Val McDermid 'Those who expect Sister Agnes to be a cloistered violet are in for a stimulating surprise... She is not Miss Marple with a wimple but a suffering, struggling human being whose brilliance in detection is matched by her compassion' Sister Wendy Beckett
Product Description
Trawling through piles of tatty Victoriana and mawkish lives of the saints in the library at her Order at Bermondsey, Sister Agnes discovers the seventeenth-century Hawker archive, a collection of hand-written journals telling the story of Alice, her husband Nicolas and their son who died in infancy.
The story seems to haunt Agnes as the line between past and present grows hazy. She becomes convinced there must be a connection with the Hawker archives, and she must hurry to protect an innocent child and lay some ghosts to rest.
