A Nun in the Closet by Dorothy Gilman

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


When the cloistered Sisters of St. Tabitha are bequeathed a large estate in upstate New York, they find that they need to send a couple of their own to inspect the property. So Sister John and Sister Hyacinthe brave the world and go.

Once there they discover an injured man hiding in one of the closets, a huge amount of money hiding in a well and a bunch of activist hippies living in a clearing on the property. Meanwhile unknown people are trying to scare them away.

But the Sisters are stubborn, and less than wordly, and determined to see the best in everything.

******

I have never read anything by this Author, though I've heard really good things about her Mrs. Pollifax books. I picked this book up on a whim from a used book store and am really glad I did. This was just the right mix of suspense and humor. I found myself laughing at situations and turns of phrases.

I would gladly recommend this book to others.
