About
Once she was Professor Mary Naughton, investigative reporter, teacher, and free spirit. Now she is Sister Agatha of Our Lady of Hope, a cloistered, financially-struggling monastery in New Mexico. As an extern-a nun who handles her order's dealings with the outside world-she is used to having her faith and newly-acquired patience tested. But, when popular chaplain Father Anselm is poisoned to death in the middle of Mass, Sister Agatha has to bring all her worldly skepticism and savvy instincts to uncover the truth before scandal and unjust suspicion destroy Our Lady of Hope's future. She's up against a hostile local sheriff, an ex-lover who's never forgiven her for 'abandoning' their life together. She's got no shortage of suspects-with-secrets outside-and inside-the monastery. And, she'll have to race the clock to stop one remorseless murderer before there's more hell to pay...

Reviews
"[Sister Agatha] is intelligent, determined, funny and deeply religious, yet completely unstuffy...[a] thoughtful mystery novel."
Dallas Morning News
"The Thurlos write with the same grace, savvy, and sense of place that make the Ella Clah mysteries so absorbing."
Booklist
"If there was ever a nun born to raise hell, it's Sister Agatha...astride her classic Harley-with a refined police dog in the sidecar-she puts the fear of God into evildoers all over the Southwest. Let's hope Sister Agatha returns soon-this is one nun who could become habit-forming."
William Rabkin, executive producer of Diagnosis: Murder
