Book Description:
Sister Mary Helen and her Irish friend, Sister Eileen, need some R&R away from the pressures of their inner city vocation. A week at the idyllic St. Colette's Retreat House, snuggled amid towering redwoods 65 miles from San Francisco, sounds like heaven. Unfortunately the muddled sisters mistakenly arrive a week too early and find that St. Colette's is hosting a convention of hard drinking, high spirited priests. And when the serenity is further shattered by the murder of a former seminary student, suspicion falls on the holy fathers. But Sister Mary Helen has another theory about the perpetrator, and in her inimitable way she intends to uncover the deadly secrets and passions that the flesh is heir to...

I enjoyed this plot so much. Descriptions of the surrounding area (not in San Fran this time) were so vivid. Almost makes you want to go on retreat there, too (except for the murder). The 2 sisters and their friend Kate feel like old friends. Read it in 1 day.

Two nuns, Sister Mary Helen and Sister Eileen, are becoming known for solving murders. They are going on a well deserved retreat at a secluded site and they discover they have arrived on the wrong week which was reserved for a group of priests. Before they can leave Sister Mary Helen discovers a body and the search begins to find the killer. This was a fast read and there are a few surprises at the end.

**** Sisters Mary Helen and Eileen leave for an idyllic retreat at St. Collette's Retreat. Unfortunately the sisters arrive at the wrong time. The Retreat is hosting a convention of hard-drinking, high-spirited priests. The serenity is threatened by the murder of a former seminary student. It is up to the Sisters to discover the perpetuator.

Sister Mary Helen is a nun with a nose for nabbing killers.
