Product Description

From Publishers Weekly

Ex-nun Christine Bennett makes her third foray into amateur sleuthing in a tale that will delight fans of the American "cozy." Thirty years ago, the inhabitants of Studsburg, N.Y., all relocated when the town was flooded to create a reservoir. But drought has left the small town temporarily high and dry, and while visiting her childhood friend, Maddie Stifler, Chris pokes about and discovers the remains of a young woman hidden in the Catholic church. Disturbed by the local police's indifference to the fate of the unidentified woman, Chris begins making a few inquiries among former residents who still live nearby. Ex-residents make the town sound like a Norman Rockwell painting come to life but some balk at Chris's probing questions: is it because time gives memories a rosy tint, Chris wonders, or because old friends are closing ranks to protect one of their own? Although Chris's significant other, NYPD Sgt. Jack Brooks, lends a bit of practical assistance, Chris's own doggedness and her ability to zero in on suspicious discrepancies lead her to success along a trail that Harris ( The Good Friday Murder ) sprinkles with surprises up to the very end.

Product Description

Former nun Christine Bennett is looking forward to the christening of her friend Maddie's baby. But when she goes to the church basement of the town that was flooded out thirty years before, Christine stumbles upon the skeletel remains of a body--the grim result of a thirty-year old murder. Trying to sort out the sordid puzzle from the past, Christine manages to unravel the dark secets of the once close-knit community, and also reveals a killer who's not afraid to kill again....

4.0 out of 5 stars What detectives are really this stupid?, April 26 2003

By A Customer

i thought that this book was a great comfort read, but one thing about it really bothered me - they were trying to figure out who the miraculous medal with the initials A.M. belonged to, and the only person in the town they could think of was a young girl at the time of the murder. well, what about Adele McCormick, the schoolteacher? she has the right initials, she would've been the right age, and working in the same place as candy would've given her plenty of opportunity to somehow get in a huge fight. i just think that it's really sad that a reader noticed a possible lead that the detective (and therefore author) didn't.

5.0 out of 5 stars ANOTHER GREAT READ, Aug 13 2000

By	Karen Boml "Kiki" (Hudson, NH) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

In this, the 3rd Christine Bennett mystery (ex-nun, now teacher/sleuth) she travels to the town where she grew up, to attend her friend's baby's christening.......while walking the the basement of the church, she stumbles upon the skeletal remains of a body.....the town had been buried under water for the last 30 years due to a flooding.... This is my favorite book in the series.......well, actually, EACH Christine Bennett book is my favorite! However, I strongly suggest you get your own copy and sit down for a few hours....once you start this, you won't be making dinner or cleaning the house till you finish!! I suggest reading the series in order if you can, as the author develops the relationship between Christine and Jack Brooks, a policeman, so realistically that you won't want to wait long before reading the next one!! My oldest daughter is reading this series along with me and we've spent many an hour over a cup of tea, discussing Christine Bennett!!! I hope Lee Harris continues this series forever!!

4.0 out of 5 stars Another Harris mystery that really held my interest., Feb 7 2000

By	Monica K. Van Ness (Aurora, CO United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I really enjoyed the first two mysteries in this series, and this one was even better than the those two. This makes two "old" mysteries that Christine Bennett solves, but I like how she digs down and works at finding the facts she needs. I also like the fact that this character can hold onto the good parts of the life she led as a nun. And that she still feels close to the sisters she lived with for so many years. Again, Christine Bennett comes across as intelligent and caring.
