Sister Gertrude wakes all the members of the Convent of St Anselm as usual one morning but Sister Anne isn't in her cell. It is assumed that she has already got up because she sleeps next door to a nun who snores loudly. Then Sister Peter finds blood on her thumb when she turns the pages of the Gradual and is mortified that she has damaged a valuable book.
When Sister Anne doesn't appear at breakfast a search is launched for her and she is soon located at the bottom of the cellar steps - dead. Enter DI Sloan and DC Crosby to investigate what promises to be a difficult case especially when a relative of the dead nun appears the following day asking to see her. As Sloan says, the police distrust coincidences.
Well written and well plotted with some entertaining characters and an intriguing portrait of life inside a convent from an outsider's point if view this is an entertaining crime novel. If you want something light and with plenty of dry humour then this book and the whole series are worth reading.
