One of Lady Antonia Fraser's gripping Jemima Shore mysteries, set
in a secluded nunnery. 'I lit the candle and began rather gingerly
to climb up the ladder. Then I heard a distinct sound above my
head. A scrape on the floor, an irregular jarring on the floor
above my head, like something rocking . . .' A nun is dead - her
emaciated corpse has been discovered locked in the tower of Blessed
Eleanor's Convent. The tragic consequence of a neurotic young woman
committing to a life of isolation and piety, the inquest concludes.
But this young woman held unusual power over the convent - power
she was planning to use. Jemima Shore tries to keep her distance
from the case, but when her lover cancels their holiday she finds
herself reluctantly getting involved. A violent attack in the dead
of night and another death convinces her that the convent is not
the haven of peace it appears to be. Suspicion and fear hang heavy
in the air but how do you solve a murder no-one will admit
happened?
