Saving Death (Sister Cecile Mysteries)

Rating:
Summary: Saving Death - fast paced mystery
Review: This book weaves a number of subplots together as an innocent man covicted of murder escapes after serving 20 years. He attempts to find the real murderer by hiring a P.I., who just happens to also be a nun, and the plot thickens as you are taken through the Latin community in Miami, Florida with a great amount of picturesque background. The story is well written and reads quickly. Through most of it, you don't want to put it down.

Summary: I love Sister Cecile
Review: Winona Sullivan hooked me with A Sudden Death at the Norfolk Cafe, and kept me interested as Cecile and the nuns headed south. I enjoyed Saving Death in particular because this novel provided some backstory about Cecile's youth and her relationship with Paul - though it was not important to the meat of the mystery, I liked it nonetheless. I'm comfortable with these characters and I enjoyed learning more about them.

Cecile's assignment is to solve a twenty-year-old murder where many of the people involved are either dead or unwilling to talk. Her client, unknown to her, was the man wrongly convicted of the crime, and though he changes his mind at one point Cecile is determined to find closure to this case, before the true killer gets to her first. All in all an enjoyable read.
