Book Review: Better than Nun by Alice Loweecey

Disclosure / Disclaimer: I received this book, free of charge,from HeneryPress, via Edelweiss, for review purposes on this blog. No other compensation, monetary or in kind, has been received or implied for this post. Nor was I told how to post about it, all opinions are my own.

Ex-nun, Giulia Driscoll, is back in this latest installment in this 6th book of the series.....

Synopsis:

Giulia Driscoll used to say running a detective agency was the busiest job she’d ever had. 

Then the ghosts showed up, and she figured now she’s the busiest ever. 

This of course challenged the Universe to say, “Hold my beer.”

Today she’s running the agency, sleuthing on behalf of the ghosts, and being the mother of a two-month-old. At last she understands those 5-Hour Energy commercials.The Universe then dropped two clients in her lap for Mardi Gras: a family greedy to find hidden money and the son of her least-favorite person, Ken Kanning of The Scoop. The positive: a date night! The not-so-positive: it’s a working date night. 

Driscoll Investigations is joining the big Mardi Gras costume charity gala to search for potential thieves. Kanning Junior will be at the party showing off his tame ghost. The Scoop, a few hundred drunk revelers, a mercenary family, and a ghost who isn’t as tame as the kid thinks. What could possibly go wrong? Did someone just hear the Universe say, “Hold my beer”?

Review:

Do NOT read this book in public, while drinking or eating! You are liable to laugh and snort out loud and drench your nearby occupants! Especially for the Roman Catholics, and lapsed, there is so much 'inside humor', but its still enjoyable to all! Combine that with all the yucks of motherhood, and you have a book that you never want to end! Oh yeah, and there's a tight little mystery for the crew to solve too! This is a charming series, and after reading any one of the books, you'll want to read the whole set (good thing the early books are on sale on Kindle right now!), and catch up on all the hijinks and adorable craziness that is Driscoll Investagations!
