The peaceful atmosphere of the Reverend Mother's annual retreat is shattered by sudden, violent death in this gripping historical mystery. 1920s. Cork, Ireland. The Reverend Mother regrets the bishop's decision to invite the five candidates for the position of Alderman of the City Council to join them for their annual retreat. Constantly accosted by ambitious, would-be politicians hoping to secure the bishop's backing, she's finding the week-long sojourn at the convent of the Sisters of Charity anything but peaceful. What she doesn't expect to encounter however is sudden, violent death. When a body is discovered in the convent's apple orchard cemetery, blown to pieces by a makeshift bomb, it is assumed the IRA are responsible. But does the killer lie closer to home?

1920’s Cork and Reverend Mother Aquinas is looking forward to the annual retreat at the Sisters of Charity Order for the religious superiors of the Cork area. She enjoys meditative and discussion times in the orchard, which is also a cemetery. When that quiet retreat is threatened by the annoying inclusion of prospective mayoral candidates, prompted by the Bishop, she’s somewhat put out.
There’s more to come:
A novice with the Sisters of Charity, who is the daughter of one of the candidates and who rather surprisingly, chose the name Mary Magdalene
And shockingly a bomb explosion in the convent’s apple orchard cemetry—possibly IRA?
Once again I’m fascinated by the development of the Reverend Mother’s ex pupils Eileen, who’s just completed her studies at Cork University and is looking to be apprenticed in a solicitor’s office; and Inspector Patrick Cashman. I so enjoy seeing what they have become, given the rocky starts they’ve both had.
Mother Aquinas is as delightfully astute as ever. A wonderful way of looking at the world, a religious persona engaged in her community, observant, alive to the individuality of those around her. She brings those facets to her quiet assistance in the solving of crimes.
