Series: Sister Agatha and Father Selwyn Mysteries #1
I almost had myself convinced that this book was never going to end. With its constant repeating of where the reader was in the story to adding in never ending clues, Jane Willan turned what should have been a delightful first book in a new series into a hopeless case for me.
Sister Agatha, the librarian of Gwenafwy Abbey in Northern Wales is a mystery writer at heart and when an actually murder takes place on the abbey grounds, she turns to the teachings of her favorite podcast and literary heroes. With death and sabotage running amok on the Anglican abbey’s grounds, Sister Agatha with a reluctant Father Selwyn, set out to answer the relentless questions and tackle the suspect list.
Unfortunately, Jane Willan threw too much into this freshman outing of the Sister Agatha and Father Selwyn Mystery series. Certain characters could have been saved for subsequent books that would have allowed them to shine; unfortunately, they just faded into the hodgepodge of too much.
