Visitors come to the convent

Change is in the wind as visitors come to the convent of the Order of the Daughters of Compassion. Two prospective nuns, Magdelen and Bernadette, travel to Cornwall and are met by Sister Joan. They both seem determined to enter the religious life, but Joan is not sure of the suitability of one of the girls. Added to this, there are several new-age travelers who are camping nearby, and a hermit who has taken up residence in the former schoolhouse. This cast of characters provides plenty of suspects when one of the young postulants is found murdered. Although Sister Joan is on the trail of the perpetrator, she needs the help of Detective Sergeant Mill in order to escape the murderer herself. This is an interesting and well-written "cozy".
