Veronica Black is a terrific mystery writer. I just love the setting and the atmosphere.” ElizabethTHE DETECTIVESister Joan is thirty-five and a natural rebel. Coming late to her vocation, she still remembers life outside the convent. But having left behind her lover to serve God, she is now committed to her path. When her Mother Superior sends her to the Cornwall House, her loyalties are split — but she knows her ultimate duty is to the truth.THE SETTINGThe bleak, misty loneliness of Bodmin provides the backdrop to these novels. The moor stretches away to the horizon and there are patches of pale grass starred with wild flowers with clumps of blackberry and wild gooseberry. Here and there, the low ground dips lower into a narrow valley of bracken. Over the whole moor broods an air of waiting calm. Sister Joan is lucky to have the use of the House’s stable mare, Lilith, to travel to her teaching duties at the local primary school, where she hears local gossip.SISTER JOAN MYSTERY SERIESBook 1: A VOW OF SILENCEBook 2: A VOW OF CHASTITYMore coming soon.
