Review: Nun Too Soon by Alice Loweecey

A Mysterious Review of Nun Too Soon by Alice Loweecey. A Giulia Driscoll Mystery.

Review summary: The storyline is an interesting one, and definitely has potential to draw readers in, but loses a lot of energy by the midpoint of the book. Indeed, the resolution to the crime can probably best be described as a missed opportunity. A nice start to this sequel of an older series, but not an altogether strong one.

Nun Too Soon
Alice Loweecey
A Giulia Driscoll Mystery
Henery Press (January 2015)

Publisher synopsis: Giulia Falcone-Driscoll has just taken on her first impossible client: The Silk Tie Killer. He's hired Driscoll Investigations to prove his innocence and they have only thirteen days to accomplish it. Talk about being tried in the media. Everyone in town is sure Roger Fitch strangled his girlfriend with one of his silk neckties. And then there's the local TMZ wannabes — The Scoop — stalking Giulia and her client for sleazy sound bites.

On top of all that, her assistant's first baby is due any second, her scary smart admin still doesn't relate well to humans, and her police detective husband insists her client is guilty. About this marriage thing — it's unknown territory, but it sure beats ten years of living with 150 nuns.

Giulia's ownership of Driscoll Investigations hasn't changed her passion for justice from her convent years. But the more dirt she digs up, the more she's worried her efforts will help a murderer escape. As the client accuses DI of dragging its heels on purpose, Giulia thinks The Silk Tie Killer might be choosing one of his ties for her own neck.
