And now for something new for your Fall reading!

Synopsis:

The Other Side has hired Driscoll Investigations. The owner of Stone’s Throw Lighthouse Bed and Breakfast insists that a Tarot reading told her to hire Giulia to evict the family ghost. Since the ghost is cutting gas lines and flooding cellars, Giulia and her husband Frank head to the B&B to discover the real perpetrator.

The client also has a family legend: A highwayman who stole a pile of gold. Giulia has a pile of suspects, including a psychic the client hired to conduct weekly séances. So much for romance with Frank at this getaway.

Instead, Giulia’s juggling arson, creepy clown dolls, and the psychic going all Exorcist on her. Then the ghost tries to push the client off the lighthouse and throw Giulia down three flights of stairs. It should’ve known better than to mess with an ex-nun. Giulia has connections and she’s about to use them.

Review:

This was a quick and very funny read! I had not read the pre-story (Changing Habits), or the first book in the series (Nun Too Soon), but it was easy to read, as the author gives you needed background info. the chatracters are all quirk and unique (an ex-nun, hello!). The mystery at hand is solid, and the added side stories really help to set up all the involved characters, Giula is one of my new favorite characters, and I can't wait to read her next escapade (Nun But the Brave , coming out July 2016). Don't miss this new book, if you want something different for Fall reading!
