Requiem at the Refuge: A Sister Mary Helen Mystery, by: Sister Carol Anne O’Marie
Fiction-mystery, 276 pages copyright 2000
This book was a good mystery. It wasn’t until the end that you find out who the killer is, but it isn’t written like some mysteries, where they withhold information needed to solve the case; it’s just a well written book. Also this book has the most interesting cast of characters. The main one, who is in books before this, but you don’t need to read them to get the story, is Sister Mary Helen, a nun in her 80’s who loves mysteries, and is able to solve more then any nun I’ve heard about. The murdered person is a prostitute that visits a mission run by a fellow nun to help the homeless. The other main characters include prostitutes, pimps, drug dealers, vice and homicide cops, and of course to make the story even more compelling a millionaire planning on running for office, his wife (who of course works at the mission) and his mistress.
