On the eve of St. Patrick's Day in a small upstate New York town, a young nun in training is murdered, and former FBI agent Gregor Demarkian must investigate the crime. This description may be from another edition of this product.
If you like mysteries that are rich with detail and multiple plot lines, you will like the writing of Jane Haddam. Gregor Demarkian is a most interesting sleuth with many connections in the community of Maryville from past detections in other novels. As we are near St. Paddy's Day, I picked up this volume by Haddam in honor of the event. I have not read any other Demarkian mysteries, but I will. I like the snippets of characterization that are revealed piece by piece. As a non-Catholic, I am fascinated by the life of the convent and the political structure of the church. This inticately knit community lends itself to the mystery. If you like mystery, try on a Jane Haddam read.
