Alan’s comments from the Reading the Detectives group.

I bought a Kindle copy for cheap last month. Not sure if I will get to it this month as I am behind in several other reads. However, it is early in the month and one never knows what I will be in the mood for in the way of reading a few days from now. Perogative of a "senior citizen".

It is slow going with this one. Not necessarily the story, but the formatting of the Kindle version I have. Very small "print" and every line is underlined. It is a classic locked room mystery and wanting to finished, but may move on and just do a chapter at a time for a bit just to rest my old eyes.

I plan to get to this since I have had a copy for awhile

I am in the early stages reading this one. Got a mention on the Great Courses lecture in their course on mystery fiction.

I was not expecting the solution to the crimes.
I really enjoyed the book regardless.
Not being Catholic it was interesting getting this look into convent life. A lot of the terminology was completely new to me. The next book in series will be a definate read in the future.

I borrowed the Kindle download from my library and discovered I had bought copy over a year ago. Already have book 3 as well.

About a third of the way. Quite the family Troy is staying with.
