Second To Nun by Alice Loweecey

littletaiko's review against another edition

3.0

Fun cozy mystery featuring Giulia Driscoll, former nun turned private investigator. Giulia is called on to help a B&B owner rid her house of the family ghost. Giulia is too practical to believe in ghosts and has her sites set on determine the very real person causing trouble. There isn't an actual murder in the story but a couple of attempts along the way. The mystery is more about who is trying to sabotage the B&B.

It may seem crazy, but an ex-nun as a private detective makes for some good mystery writing. Admittedly, this book is better if you can remember the Stations of the Cross and how to complete a Rosary, but I think everyone can find some humor and enjoyment following the former sister as she continues to solve crimes while coming to terms with her own post-convent life. In this, the second full length offering in the series, Guilia has to solve the ghostly haunting of a bed and breakfast. Colorful characters populate the inn and make for a fun adventure. This would be a great vacation read or cozy weekend read (if we ever get a winter). I do caution readers that this continues a previous series (Falcone & Driscoll). So if you are like me and want to read things in order, read that series first! I will admit that I have added them to my wish list.

I received a preview copy from Netgalley in exchange for an objective review.

Written by a former nun, about a former nun who has opened her own private investigator business, Driscoll Investigations. This book (and possibly the whole series) is the epitome of cosy mysteries and perfect for any age. Don’t be put off by the premise of a ghost in the blurb if the supernatural genre isn’t your thing, as long as you like solving mysteries you’ll enjoy the ride in this story. Humorous at times, serious and heartwarming, I enjoyed reading ‘Second to Nun’ and would happily read more in the future by this author.
