Nuns and murder and ghosts, oh my! Here comes Giulia Driscoll again, and boy, is she in for it this time. It all starts when a frenzied Chihuahua leads Giulia and Frank Driscoll to the body of a nun in the street near a convent. The nuns fear they're being harassed by the biggest developer in town and quickly embrace Giulia as their savior. Of course, the former nun who exposed the drug ring run by a priest and nun will save their home and discover the murderer. And of course, Giulia not only takes this job, but also all the other jobs clamoring for her attention. The result: Driscoll Investigations is pushed to its limit. To top it off. the convent has a ghost. She loves the house, hates the nuns, and chain-smokes. Why couldn't Giulia's first honest-to-goodness ghost be shy and sweet? More importantly, does the ghost hate the nuns-or the developer-enough to indulge in a bit of murder to liven up the afterlife? Baker of brownies and tormenter of characters, Alice Loweecey celebrates the day she jumped the wall with as much enthusiasm as her birthday. She grew up watching Hammer horror films and Scooby-Doo mysteries, which explains a whole lot. When she's not writing humorous mysteries or nightmare-inducing horror fiction, she can be found growing vegetables in her garden and water lilies in her koi pond. Suspense Magazine says: "For those who have not yet read these incredible mysteries written by an actual ex-nun, you're missing out...Brilliant, funny, a great whodunit; this is one writer who readers should definitely make a 'habit' of." *******************Booklist says: "Giulia is a sympathetic, well-drawn character who has built a full life for herself after she leaving the convent, but appealing touches of the former nun remain." –************************Hank Phillippi Ryan says: "You'll love Giulia Driscoll! She's one of a kind-quirky, unpredictable and appealing. With an entertaining cast of characters, a clever premise and Loweecey's unique perspective-this compelling not-quite-cozy is a winner.
