Editorial Reviews

Having decided to become a nun, Felicity Howard is off to visit convents despite her mother's upcoming visit and a plea from Father Anselm that she accompany Father Antony on his trip to recover a missing Russian icon. Soon, Felicity discovers a murder and a disappearance, and she is abducted. In her series debut, A Very Private Grave, Crow intertwines a contemporary mystery with the story of Saint Cuthbert. Here, she infuses her modern plot with accounts of two other medieval mystics, Julian of Norwich and Margery Kempe. VERDICT Readers looking for a fast-paced tale of romantic suspense will be disappointed, but those who enjoy ecclesiastical series by such authors as Veronica Black and Carol Anne O'Marie may appreciate the historical tidbits.
