Murder in Ordinary Time

Readers have come to delight in the murder-solving exploits of septuagenarian Sister Mary Helen, a nun with a nose for trouble. Publishers Weekly calls the Sister Mary Helen mysteries "refreshingly different." Once you meet this spry, clever sleuth, you'll want to make a habit of reading her adventures again and again. The Way the Cookie Crumbles Sister Mary Helen is about to face the cameras on a noontime TV news show, when her interviewer eats a cookie from a nearby plate...and keels over dead. Christina Kelly, Channel 5's leading reporter, beloved by colleagues and the public alike, has been poisoned. But why? Perhaps the cookie was meant for someone else-like Wicked Wendy, the bad girl of the newsroom. Sister Mary Helen has a theory, and the San Francisco Police Department has a response-keep out of the case! Will she snoop anyway? Is the Pope Catholic? Now heaven help the intrepid sister as she rushes in where angels fear to tread...and tries to stop a killer from striking again.O'Marie, Carol Anne is the author of 'Murder in Ordinary Time', published 2005 under ISBN 9780312936181 and ISBN 0312936184.
