Sudden Death at the Norfolk Cafe (Sister Cecile Mysteries)

Rating:
Summary: The only mystery is how this won a contest
Review: There's no mystery in this book: all the criminals are identified as their crimes are revealed.

There's hardly any sleuthing, and most of it is done by the bad guys, not by Sister Cecile or her lawyer friend.

There's very little even in the way of suspense.

How did this win the Best First Private Eye Novel Contest?

The characterizations and settings are excellent, and one hopes that the author can somehow contrive to use them in a mystery one day.

Summary: "This is two stories in one with two mysterious endings."
Review: This is a story of connected events which involves life and death situations in a world of blackmail, drugs and big money. In this corrupting world people begin to owe others but sometimes the price becomes their own life. When you get involved in criminal activities like these you pay a high price. The author Winona Sullivan has very well coincided two plots in one story. This mystery is a vow of chastity, a vow of sanctity and a vow of silence.
