Darkening Sky by Alison Joseph
Sister Agnes is about to take her final vows, but is worried about giving up all her earthly possessions. If she ever leaves the convent, how would she survive with no home and no finances? However, Agnes's concerns are put into perspective when Walker McFadden, a lodger at the hostel for addicts in London at which she works, is found dead.
'Those who expect Sister Agnes to be a cloistered violet are in for a stimulating surprise.. She is not Miss Marple with a wimple but a suffering, struggling human being whose brilliance in detection is matched by her compassion' Sister Wendy Beckett 'Agnes is a fascinating and complicated woman who inevitably looks at the world from an oblique angle' Val McDermid
