Product Description

Review

"'A complex and intriguing novel, with a refreshing heroine... who challenges herself, her faith, her relationship with her family, friends and God. A thoroughly enjoyable read' Crime Time '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

Sister Agnes is about to take her final vows, but is worried about giving up all her earthly possessions. If she ever leaves the convent, how would she survive with no home and no finances? However, Agnes's concerns are put into perspective when Walker Hogen, a lodger at the hostel for addicts in London at which she works, is found dead. When Walker's handsome brother William turns up at the funeral and announces that he believes Walker's death was no accident, he enlists Agnes's help in tracking down the killer. By tracing Walker's childhood friends and comrades in the Falkland's War, Agnes stumbles on Walker's own writings of horror and revenge on an unnamed man. Agnes feels she is beginning to pick up the trail of truth. The Darkening Sky is a cleverly realised novel for our times, based on the moral dilemmas of Dante's Inferno.

5.0 out of 5 stars Decision time for Sister Agnes, 25 Oct 2008
By Damaskcat (UK) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)      
This review is from: Darkening Sky (Sister Agnes) (Paperback)
Agnes needs to decide whether she wants to take her final vows and divest herself of all her property. But she is distracted by the murder of one of the inmates at the hostel for the homeless where she works. Andy was a soldier in the Falklands war and has never recovered from his experiences during the conflict. Agnes feels the person the police have as chief suspect may not have committed the crime and the dead man's friends and relatives think the same. By determined investigation Agnes uncovers a web of relationships and old quarrels which could have had more to do with the killing than anyone wants to admit. Agnes' two friends, Father Julius and Athena, also face their own crossroads adding to the tension. This is a well plotted story with plenty of incident. Characters develop over the series and there are always more issues at stake than the simple question of who done it. I really enjoy this well written, humorous and at times poignant series and this episode is well up to standard.
