Clock Strikes Nun
“A sympathetic, well-drawn character who has built a full life for herself after leaving the convent, but appealing touches of the former nun remain” (Booklist).
When terrified Elaine Patrick knocks on Driscoll Investigations’ door and insists her house is haunted, Giulia Driscoll’s first response is “we don’t handle ghosts.” When Elaine’s housekeeper and crackpot filthy rich cousin descend on Giulia and demand she find out who’s trying to steal sweet, fragile Elaine’s family business out from under her, that’s a different story. They want DI to provide Tarot readings, ghost hunting sessions, and even an exorcism.
Ghost hunting? There are apps for that. Tarot readings? Experts in the skill are right across the street. Exorcisms? Having a priest for a brother-in-law comes in handy. Giulia plunges into a crash course in all things supernatural, convinced everything happening to Elaine is stagecraft—until she discovers a new dimension to sleuthing . . .
“Loweecey’s characters are colorful without being caricatures.” —Sheila Connolly, New York Times–bestselling author of An Early Wake
“Loweecey is herself a former nun, and she brings to Giulia all of this inner conflict, residual guilt, and disillusionment . . . And how can you not love an author who quotes from the movies Airplane and Young Frankenstein? . . . The real appeal of this series is her genuine likability and fiery independent streak that could never be hidden behind a veil.” —Kings River Life Magazine
