The Monk's Table is a pub in the village of Ballyclarin, Ireland, home to the Oyster Festival, where Sister Mary Helen and Sister Eileen are in attendance. The two do their best to take in all the events, from art contests to games of whist. But just as in San Francisco, Sister Mary Helen can't help but be in the wrong place at the right time. She's not had more than one piece of rhubarb pie before she stumbles across a dead body in the ladies' room. She and Sister Eileen are warned to stay out of the case; the Irish police will handle it. But aside from prayerful devotion, murder is Sister Mary Helen's speciality and it won't be long before the Irish are glad these Yank nuns dropped in on the festivities. Sister O'Marie ventures into a new setting with great confidence and imagination. The result is a stunning mystery boasting a colourful cast of characters, not the least of which is Sister Mary Helen, our delightful sleuthing cleric.
