A Vow of Compassion
by Veronica Black

ONCE IS HAPPENSTANCE. TWICE IS COINCIDENCE. THREE TIMES IS WORTH INVESTIGATING.

When Mother Dorothy’s godmother dies of a heart attack and leaves all her money to the convent, Sister Joan is uneasy.

While on visiting duty at the hospital, she makes some tacit enquiries. Things don’t seem quite right.

The nursing staff are always away from their posts at crucial times.

The surly young doctor seems very out of sorts.

Then a little girl goes missing.

Sister Joan knows there’s something truly sinister going on. She teams up with Detective Sergeant Mill, but can they get to the bottom of things before tragedy strikes?

MEET SISTER JOAN, A REBEL NUN WHO VOWS TO FIND OUT THE TRUTH.

PERFECT FOR FANS OF BLACK NARCISSUS, FAITH MARTIN, LIS HOWELL, JEANNE M. DAMS, MARGARET MAYHEW, DAPHNE DU MAURIER, MARGARET FRAZER, ELLIS PETERS or CORA HARRISON.

Genre: Historical Crime & Mystery

Reviews

“I love Veronica Black’s sleuth and am gradually sourcing all of her books containing Sister Joan.” Dragones
“Great book, great mystery series.” Independent
“A Vow of Compassion is another great addition to Veronica Black’s Sister Joan series of whodunits.” Shannon
“Black contemplates the similarities between policemen and nuns, and between religious and secular lives, leaving readers with the delightful notion that the gap is much smaller than they might think.” Publisher’s Weekly
