A Reverend Mother mystery

Summary

"The Reverend Mother is delighted with her new entrant to the convent. Sister Gertrude is well-educated, has worked for an accountant and has an appealing sense of humour. But one morning, Sister Gertrude is found dead inside a small shed, just beside the river. Surely a young nun could not die from alcohol poisoning? But when the Reverend Mother delves into Sister Gertrude's background, she finds some anomalies. Why did the nun not delay her entry to the convent until after her sister's wedding? Is it a coincidence that her father died of a similar illness not long before? Could there be a link between Sister Gertrude's death and the gunpowder explosion on Spike Island? The Reverend Mother must find the answers if she is to safeguard her community from suspicions of murder."
