All y’all know that I don’t read reviews. However a Google alert showed this review and the location abbreviation made me think it was from Eastern Europe. So I clicked, with trepidation. Turns out it’s the St. Augustine, FL news, and I’m glad I clicked.
Not Your Typical Nuns!
By Amy Lignor
Back in the Habit,by Alice Loweecey is not your typical mystery. In fact, this is one of the most entertaining novels of suspense that I have ever had the pleasure of reading. The first ‘Falcone & Driscoll Investigation’ was so much fun and so thrilling at the same time, that it will be a surprise for all readers when they see that the second one is even better!

Back in the Habit: A Falcone & Driscoll Investigation
Alice Loweecey. Midnight Ink (www.midnightinkbooks.com), $14.95 trade paper (312p) ISBN 978-0-7387-2668-7
Loweecey’s entertaining second mystery featuring PI Giulia Falcone (after 2011’s Force of Habit) takes ex-nun Giulia back to exactly where she doesn’t want to be—the convent she left a year and half earlier. Giulia’s nemesis, Sister Mary Fabian, superior general of the Sisters of Saint Francis of Greater Pittsburgh (aka “the Puppet Master”), hires her to go undercover to determine the truth behind a young novice’s suicide. Giulia, confronted with her old demons, real and imagined, soon realizes that donning the habit is messing with her mind as much as the mysterious behavior of the dead novice. Outside the convent, she struggles to adjust to her new life, which includes a burgeoning romance with her present boss, Frank Driscoll. The well-paced plot and intriguing inside look at convent life more than compensate for the heroine’s often distracting internal dialogue and some over-the-top villains.
This is the costume one of my friends created for Halloween this year:

I have terrific friends!
If anyone else wants to dress up as Giulia (in her nun days or post-convent), I’ll be very happy to feature your picture too!
