Very funny murder mystery, especially if you have ever been involved with either nuns or small town community theater. ( ) This book turned out to be pretty good. Not great, mind; the mystery isn't well-turned enough, although I think it was possible to guess it. I didn't, but I think one might have been able to. That said, there were so many people and so many things floating around, it didn't have as much of an edge as some other mysteries I've read. There was too much going on to really develop much of a feeling of suspense, or, indeed, of great investment in the murders. But, as much as I like hard-boiled mysteries, I have no problem with those of the somewhat sillier kind, and this fit that bill nicely. The dialogue was all right, although the internal monologue parts were better. The characterization, again, wasn't tremendous, since there were too many of them around, but at least several of them did feel differentiated, and the main character felt like a person. The plot... well, like I said, I think he tried putting a bit too much in, but I've read worse. This is probably also the most unabashedly gay book I've ever read, and I've read the Gumshoe, the Witch and the Virtual Corpse several times. This book wasn't nearly as good as that one, mind, but if you want a fun mystery, you could certainly do worse. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña

Escaping the heat and heartbreak of New York City for a summer in rural Pennsylvania sounded like the perfect plan to Nicky D'Amico. Little did he know that what began as a heavenly idea would turn out to be a hell of a job! Each year the nuns of rural St. Gilbert's College hire a city slicker to help with their summer theater festival. As the stage manager, Nicky has a lot to handle--a truly awful musical script, bickering school staff, a huge crush on the cute guy in the chorus but things are about to get a whole lot worse. Convent of Fear, the school's play, features a serial nun killer. When several cast members are murdered, the mystery moves from the stage to real life. With its suspenseful plot, loveable characters, and laugh-out-loud humor, A Habit for Death is one habit you won't want to break. No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |
