About this listen

The third audiobook a dramatic new mystery series set in a Cornish convent. Perfect for fans of Black Narcissus, Daphne Du Maurier and Margaret Frazer

Sister Joan heads to the serene shores of Loch Morag for a spiritual retreat in a cave up a steep hill. She’s hoping for peace and quiet, but she soon finds trouble. Six years ago, the womanizing husband of the local store-owner disappeared. Then the minister’s wife died of an overdose. Was it an accident or suicide? Then, after a sudden storm, a body surfaces in the loch. What’s going on? The grumpy villagers don’t want to talk about it. Sister Joan must abandon her solitude to search for the killer and unearth the truth.

Critic reviews

“Outstanding.” (Publishers Weekly)
All stars

I’m enjoying this series, and the author’s creation of different scenarios for Sister Joan. She hardly seems to have spent any time in this supposed retreat however! The plot twists were good up to the end, and the descriptions were vivid.
The Scottish accents were better than many in Audible books, but I found it very irritating and lazy that the narrator hadn’t bothered to learn how to pronounce ‘loch’ correctly, especially given the number of times that the word occurs in the text.
