I never binge watch shows but I can binge read series, which is why I am so reluctant to start. I started this series at the beginning and read until now because this is not the collaboration between two authors that the first six were and I was interested in seeing if I could feel a shift. I don’t but now, 7 books in, I’m interested in the characters and the Benedictine culture. ( ) This is the first book I've read of Frazer's and now I am looking for some more in this series. It's got got fascinating characters, a feel that is true to the time period and seems authentic, and a reasonably good mystery. The protagonist is very different from most other detectives, especially in the sense that she is in a very proscribed environment. A particularly good installment of this very good series. The new abbess of the 15th century convent of St. Frideswide is not a good leader and not a good manager, and she particularly dislikes Sister Frevisse. In the midst of this, Frevisse has to contend first with unwelcome guests, and then with murder. The interactions among the sisters add another layer of interest. This is a story which has enough interesting facts about the 1400s to hold my attention and help me feel that I'm a part of that age. The mysteries are not overwhelmingly complicated, but the characters are drawn well and live for me. In this book, Dame Alice is Prioress and is raising havoc in the nunnery. I enjoy reading of the struggles Sister Frevisse has with her spirit and her character. They seem very true to life for me. aucune critique | ajouter une critique

After Domina Alys is made prioress, St. Frideswide becomes nothing more than a guest house for her relatives, the Godfreys, and when a long-standing family rivalry ends with murder, it is up to Sister Frevisse to rid the nunnery of its unwelcome--and deadly--guests.
