Description
Thursday November 12, 2009
3:30 PM until 4:30 PM
Join us for a discussion of A Killing On Church Grounds by Barbara Cummings.
Recommended for adults and meets in the auditorium.
Sister Mary Agnes is an unforgettable and unlikely heroine. She's a nun lacking on nun-ship, a horrible cook, a worse seamstress, but a crack shot. She talks to God, and He answers her. She's years behind in her promises to Him. She's not the favorite nun of her Reverend Mother, and expects any minute to be packed off to the coldest spot in Rhode Island where - in the winter months - hell has literally frozen over. To add to her woes, she stumbles on a corpse in the cold cellar, and wrestles another murder victim out of the tub in which she was drowned. When it looks as if her childhood friend will be convicted of the crimes he vehemently denies any part of, she defies her superior and gathers together a rip-roaring roster of mismatched amateur sleuths - including her best friend, Sister Mary Winifred, a mob boss, his driver, a monsignor, and Agnes' cop cousin. And if that isn't enough - to turn St. Catherine's on its ear, and help her discover the truth, Sister Agnes can always count on her nice little pearl-handled pistol!
