Change is afoot at Gwenafwy Abbey. Ten new nuns from a convent in Los Angeles join the community of Anglican sisters bringing energy, youthful enthusiasm, and more electronic equipment than Sister Agatha could have imagined. The arrival of the new nuns brings something else to the Abbey—a bit of unexpected notoriety. Claire MacDonagh, an ambitious young reporter for The Church Times, interviews the new sisters for a feature story. Murder is the last thing on anyone’s mind when Claire is found dead on the beach, her mobile phone in the sand. A tragic death, says Constable Barnes. A selfie gone bad. Meanwhile, Sister Agatha is unconvinced and puts on her detective’s hat, only to find herself in the midst of a tangled murder mystery. Her suspect list includes everyone from the new sisters to Reverend Mother to the beloved archbishop of Wales. Time is running out as Sister Agatha uncovers a shocking reality. Will she reveal the truth hidden in an ancient document before it is too late?

REVIEW

*I received a free copy of this book which I voluntarily chose to write an honest review for.

I must say that this book focused on a nun in an Abbey definitely gives it a different flow. Sister Agatha loves to write mysteries which helps her out when it comes to het amateur sleuthing. Living in the Abbey gives her life structure as she goes about her daily life. This changes a tad when a group of young nuns from America join them as well as a journalist writing a story about their life. Claire definitely asks a few strange questions which doesn't raise any red flags until she is found dead at the bottom of a cliff. The local police think its a selfie gone wrong which is common in today's world but Sister Agatha is not so sure. Her investigation gives her plenty of suspects but narrowing it down is quite daunting. This makes for a mystery with lots of surprising clues one would not expect due to where they live. Has a nice flow that keeps you guessing while staying true to the setting. This creates a cozy that is slightly different from a lot of others for a nice change of pace. Makes for a fascinating read. I really liked it so I give it 4/5 stars.
