From Publishers Weekly "It's those goddamn old nuns again," growls Inspector Dan Gallagher of the San Francisco police when a counterpart in Spain calls for information. In truth, Sister Mary Helen and Sister Eileen of Mount St. Francis College are a somewhat tiresome pair in their fifth case (including A Novena for Murder ), even when they are touring as two of 10 lucky winners of a free pilgrimage to Santiago de Compostela. Actually not all the winners are lucky--one has beeen murdered and another is surely a killer. The nuns use Chaucer's Canterbury Tales as a hook on which to hang their discussion of fellow pilgrims, but the characters are instantly forgettable. Not even colorful descriptions of the Spanish sights and three attacks on Mary Helen can quite redeem this flimsily plotted tale. Copyright 1993 Reed Business Information, Inc. From Library Journal Lively protagonists Sr. Mary Helen and Sr. Eileen prove that the religious vocation also yields singular sleuths. When Sr. Mary Helen, 77, wins a free trip to a little-known religious shrine in Spain, she and sidekick Sr. Eileen join assorted "pilgrims" on a small tour arranged by a beleaguered restaurant owner. While exploring the chapel after their arrival, however, Sr. Mary Helen discovers the body of a flirty tour member and promptly calls detective Kate Murphy back in San Francisco. This is simple, cheerful, inoffensive, and undemanding fare. For series fans.Copyright 1993 Reed Business Information, Inc. See all Editorial Reviews
