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.

Our rating:

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.

But Kitten knew what she was getting into when she got involved with him; she had heard the stories of Viv's past discoveries: Once he discarded them, they ended up in a chorus line, a sanatorium, or worse. She knows enough of his secrets that he wouldn't dare destroy her career. But he may be willing to kill her.

On a train from Los Angeles to Chicago, Kitten learns that Viv is planning to offer her roommate a part that was meant for her. If she lets him betray her, her career will be over. But fight for the part, and she will be fighting for her life as well.

Retired from law, Ben Kincaid is forced to return to the bar when a case — and a corpse — fall in his lap …

After years of struggling, Ben Kincaid shuts down his small legal office and decides to make a living doing something that — compared to practicing law in Tulsa — is easy money: playing jazz piano. He buys a minivan to haul his gear, and gets steady gigs playing in a combo at Uncle Earl's Jazz Emporium. His new career is just starting to take off when a body falls from the Emporium ceiling, knocking the wind out of Kincaid and sending him right back to his old profession.

The dead woman is Cajun Lily Campbell, a grand dame of the Tulsa music scene and onetime girlfriend of Uncle Earl himself. And Kincaid must be careful as he readies the old jazzman's defense, because there is a killer on the north side of town who would like nothing more than to hear the piano player's last tune.

Under Dark Waters by Bernadette Calonego, New on the Mystery Bookshelf during April 2015

New on the Mystery Bookshelf during April 2015 …

Under Dark Waters by Bernadette Calonego, A Novel of Suspense

Publisher: AmazonCrossing

  

Driven by lingering pain and grief, historian Sonya Werner leaves her home in Switzerland to travel across the world. Officially, she's tracking down the German author Else Seel, who had left Berlin in the 1920s to marry a Canadian trapper and homestead in the wild woods of British Columbia. But the real reason for her trip is much more difficult to face: three years before, her husband took off to this part of the world on one of his usual mountain-climbing adventures, and never returned. Only after the police brought her word of his death — and the mysterious circumstances in which they found him — did Sonya discover the simultaneous disappearance of her beautiful best friend, Odette, and the possibility that her husband had been lying to her all along.

Now, haunted by sorrow and jealousy, Sonya sets out on a dangerous mission to discover the truth, and to try to put back together the pieces of her broken heart.
