Fiction. Mystery. HTML:

When holiday festivities are dampened by the murder of a pastor of the nearby St. Agatha’s Church on St. Patrick’s Day, the Sisters of Mount St. Francis College are confronted with a host of underhanded goings-on to investigate. Someone has been embezzling funds from the church; and its pastor, the late Monsignor Joseph Higgins, seems to have been a man with many enemies.

Spry septuagenarian Sister Mary Helen and her sidekick, Sister Eileen, have their hands full with an abundance of suspects. Six prominent members of the congregation all seem to have the motive and the opportunity to poison the Monsignor, as does his disagreeable housekeeper. And all of them seem to feel very strongly that he got his just desserts.

Merry mayhem ensues as the nosy pair of nuns delve into the much-disliked Monsignor’s dirty past to uncover the killer. Their intrepid sleuthing is made difficult by the disapproving college president, Sister Cecilia, and the local police team of Inspectors Kate Murphy and Dennis Gallagher, whose toes they have stepped on one time too many. However, it isn’t long before the mischievous pair uncover more secrets than they bargained for in the small parish.

Sister Mary Helen and Sister Eileen have stopped at St. Agatha’s to drop off a loaf of homemade soda bread, in honour of St. Patrick’s Day, as a thank you from Mount St. Francis College. What they find is an emergency meeting of the parish council. Something is up and it must not be good due to the meeting being on Sunday.

Monsignor Joseph Higgins takes the sisters’ visit as a perfect interruption to the tension of the meeting, by having them stay for tea and soda bread. Later that evening, the Monsignor suffers some strange symptoms that lead to his death. Was it the soda bread? He was the one who ate any of it.

Officers Dennis Gallagher and Kate Murphy are assigned to the case. They have had previous cases where the sisters have had a hand in solving ‘who done it,’ but Gallagher is no fan of theirs. Since the two nuns are some of the last to see the monsignor alive, Gallagher is hoping they may be the guilty parties. Murphy has opposite feelings.

What comes out is the monsignor’s love of money and the spending of it, even if it isn’t his. Seems he also never took his vows seriously. There are also secrets among the parish council that aren’t complimentary to the images of the members. Maybe they all have motives for wishing the monsignor dead.

With the curiosity and sleuthing of the sisters to clear any suspicion of guilt on them, a number of the secrets are revealed — along with the solution.

This is a fun cozy series with humour and perseverance of characters. ( )

If Sister Mary Helen didn't know better, she'd swear that she was standing in the Klondike and not on the steps of St. Agatha's rectory in San Francisco's Sunset District.
