Customer Reviews

What detectives are really this stupid?

i thought that this book was a great comfort read, but one thing about it really bothered me - they were trying to figure out who the miraculous medal with the initials A.M. belonged to, and the only person in the town they could think of was a young girl at the time of the murder. well, what about Adele McCormick, the schoolteacher? she has the right initials, she would've been the right age, and working in the same place as candy would've given her plenty of opportunity to somehow get in a huge fight. i just think that it's really sad that a reader noticed a possible lead that the detective (and therefore author) didn't.

ANOTHER GREAT READ

In this, the 3rd Christine Bennett mystery (ex-nun, now teacher/sleuth) she travels to the town where she grew up, to attend her friend's baby's christening.......while walking the the basement of the church, she stumbles upon the skeletal remains of a body.....the town had been buried under water for the last 30 years due to a flooding.... This is my favorite book in the series.......well, actually, EACH Christine Bennett book is my favorite! However, I strongly suggest you get your own copy and sit down for a few hours....once you start this, you won't be making dinner or cleaning the house till you finish!! I suggest reading the series in order if you can, as the author develops the relationship between Christine and Jack Brooks, a policeman, so realistically that you won't want to wait long before reading the next one!! My oldest daughter is reading this series along with me and we've spent many an hour over a cup of tea, discussing Christine Bennett!!! I hope Lee Harris continues this series forever!!

Another Harris mystery that really held my interest.

I really enjoyed the first two mysteries in this series, and this one was even better than the those two. This makes two "old" mysteries that Christine Bennett solves, but I like how she digs down and works at finding the facts she needs. I also like the fact that this character can hold onto the good parts of the life she led as a nun. And that she still feels close to the sisters she lived with for so many years. Again, Christine Bennett comes across as intelligent and caring.

Great

Love all Lee Harris Books. Does anyone know her real name. Would like to read her other books.
