A Vow Of Obedience (1995)

About book A Vow Of Obedience (1995)

Sister Joan has just returned from a retreat in Scotland when she hears that the small school which she runs is to be closed. She makes a sentimental pilgrimage to the school building and finds the body of a young girl dressed as a bride pushed into a cupboard. Shortly afterwards another young girl is found in similar attire at the local Romany gypsy encampment.Naturally Sister Joan is curious and she soon finds her new job as lay sister does not occupy her mind sufficiently to keep it away from the two murders. Mother Dorothy is being very understanding and decrees that she should help the police in whatever way she can. This is a well written and interesting mystery with its background of convent life. I enjoyed the way the characters are being developed and I liked the way the relationship between Sister Joan and DS Mill is being developed.If you like your crime novels with interesting backgrounds and not too much on the page violence then give this a try. The books can be read in any order but if you read them in the order in which they are published you can watch the relationships develop and the individual characters of the nuns come to life. The first book in the series is Vow of Silence.
