The Tormented

Sister Veronica has been invited were also going to be there. To say it's going to be a wonderful time would be exaggerating by a mile. Just trying to have a peaceful dinner is a nightmare. Giles, her cousin's husband, dies in the kitchen. Thinking it may have been a heart attack, they are all surprised when they learn he was poisoned. Giles wasn't particularly well liked ... but who would have wanted him dead ..and why? When Sister Veronica realizes that the killer must be one of her family, she's determined to find the culprit. But Giles isn't the only body that's going to fall ... and Sister Veronica may be the next target. This is a compelling mystery with outstanding characters. Nicely paced, with twists and turns. For new readers of this series, although the 3rd in line, it is easily read as a stand alone. Sister Veronica is a stand out character. I love her being a crime fiction writer in secret. The beginning was a little slow for me ... but the author did a bang-up job with character development and introducing all the family members.
