Product Description

The Order of the Sisters of Divine Grace is  holding a convention on the Philadelphia campus of St.  Elizabeth's College--and the list of invitees is  studded with unlikely Main Line luminaries like  charmless coronation king Henry Hare and fat,  foul-mouthed Norm Kevic, the most-talked-about radio talk  show host in Philly. Also on hand is guest speaker  and retired FBI agent Gregor Demarkian. The  festivities include a reception and buffet dinner. .  .which turns into a Last Supper for the nun who keels  over due to a fatal case of pate poisoning. It's  murder for mother's day--Who stuffed the ice  sculpture with fugu, a foul-smelling, potentially lethal  Japanese food fish? And why kill a nice nun like  Sister Joan Esther when it's the truly evil Mother  Mary Bellarmine whom everyone despised? Demarkian  has to sort through an ever-shifting maze of facts  and suspects--including a Society Hill matron who's  no saint and a minor celebrity with a very bad  habit-before he can crack a case in dire need of  divine deliverance. . .from death.


Ingram

Demarkian must sift through a maze of clues to determine why anyone would want to kill a nice nun like Sister Joan Esther when it is the truly evil Mother Mary Bellarmine whom everyone at St. Elizabeth's College despises.

4.0étoiles sur 5 Murder for Mother's Day, Fév 24 2002
Par Michele L. Worley (Kingdom of the Mouse, United States) - Voir tous mes commentaires
To get the most out of this, you should first read, at a minimum: _Not a Creature Was Stirring_ (introduces Gregor), _Precious Blood_ (introduces the Sisters of Divine Grace), and _A Great Day for the Deadly_ (a murder at their motherhouse). If you start with _Murder Superior_, you'll eliminate some suspects in the earlier cases.

Mother's Day on Cavanaugh Street is like the festival of a particularly fanatical cult :). Mother's Day in the convent focuses on Mary, the Mother of God. (Gregor sees children's artwork to that effect so much in this case, he feels like saying a novena, and he's Armenian Orthodox.)

The Sisters of Divine Grace are having a convention in Philadelphia, and Sisters are arriving from all over the world, including: Reverend Mother General and Sister Scholastica (of course), Sister Joan Esther from Alaska, Mother Andrew Loretta from Japan.

All of them loathe Mary Bellarmine, Mother Superior of the Southwestern Province. She's a middle-aged woman without a real vocation, who entered the order as a career. She's fantastic at funding and organizing building projects (e.g. new gymnasiums), and lousy at handling people. (Joan Esther requested a transfer to Alaska in the first place to get away from her.)

But when Gregor arrives to deliver his speech "Investigating the Catholic Murder", the woman who falls dead into his arms isn't Mary Bellarmine, but a nun everybody *liked*, who may have eaten something intended for Mary Bellarmine. And the chief investigating officer this time is an incompetent with political connections, who wants to make a big splash in the press without any unofficial consultants around. But when Reverend Mother General says jump, even the Archbishop of Philadelphia (who she taught in the 8th grade) says, how high? So Gregor's in for it, like it or not.

Interesting characters: nuns with personality (formidable nuns, cheerful young nuns; some read novels or sing Madonna lyrics while working); a radio talk-show host who specializes in offensive commentary with morning coffee, but who may not be a total loss; the dysfunctional marriage of two contributors to the order; men who just want to be protected from all the nuns. :) And, of course, the continuing lives of Gregor and his friends, and whether or not he and Bennis will ever get romantically involved.
