Product Description

Bennet Pomerantz, AUDIOWORLD, 7/99

"A lot of people ask me when I hear new projects, why don't I make a big deal about it ... I am about this one! I listened to an abridgement of Lee Harris's THE GOOD FRIDAY MURDER (Scheherazade AudioVisions). If you are wondering why they don't release good mysteries on audio, listen to Judith Roberts Seto's vocal shading of this project. Ms. Seto moves between characters with ease, making this sound almost like a motion picture in your mind. The amazing thing about this audio abridgement is it holds up against the novel itself. Pat Ms. Seto on the back and hope she records the rest of the series-this one is worth remembering when you go to the book stores." --This text refers to the Audio Cassette edition.


Pat Dole, KLIATT AUDIOBOOK REVIEWS, 7/99

"... Forty years ago, idiot savant twins were charged with the fatal stabbing of their mother on Good Friday, 1950 ... Through clever and painstaking research ... former nun [Christine Bennett] is able to clear the twins but exposes herself to serious danger as a result. She also experiences her first romantic encounter and begins to settle into a very different life than that of the cloister.

"Roberts Seto presents a brisk and pleasing semi-voiced narration of a mystery story with an unusual twist. She is especially adept at handling the accents and age differences of various female characters. --This text refers to the Audio Cassette edition.

5.0 out of 5 stars ~~~An excellent read for mystery lovers of all ages~~~, Mar 29 2004
By DiAnne "prayerangel777" (South Carolina United States) - See all my reviews
After being released from her vows, ex-nun Christine Bennett volunteers to investigate a forty-year-old murder case long since closed. Christine has to bring the past into the present in an effort to exonerate a pair of retarded savant twins, now senior citizens, while she is also adjusting to her new life as a contemporary woman. Lee Harris has made the characters in this book come to life! This was the first but definitely will not be my last time reading a Lee Harris mystery!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Smart and believable, Jul 22 2002
Christine Bennett is in the process of readjusting to "normal life" after spending 15 years as a cloistered nun. At a town meeting, she speaks in defense of disabled twin brothers accused of killing their mother 40 years before and to her surprise is put in charge of researching the case. As she starts to dig into the past, she meets a helpful (and smitten) police officer who helps in her search for the truth.

Christina does not run around accusing people of the murder without evidence, judge suspects harshly for their past actions or deliberately place herself in danger which is a refreshing change. This is a refreshing cozy mystery with likeable characters and an engrossing mystery.

5.0 out of 5 stars This is a WONDERFUL Book, April 8 2002
By Thomas H. Griffith (Los Angeles, CA United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
If you can read (or listen to the audiobook version) this story and not be in tears by the end, you are a stronger reader than I am. This was one of the most moving stories I've ever read. Ms. Harris is able, in the guise of telling the simple tale of a nun who left the convent and gets involved in a mystery simply through the process of living her everyday life, to create characters who are so sympathy-engendering as to make them part of your life. They become like family--and their deaths had me sobbing.
Add that to a well-crafted mystery story, and you have the beginning of a mystery series of books which one will want to read, and re-read in later years.
May Ms. Harris be able to keep on writing Christine Bennett
mystery stories!

4.0 out of 5 stars I found out about this particular mystery quite by accident.
It is a very entertaining read, and held my interest throughout the story. I thought that the twins, James and Robert, were particularly moving characters. Read more
