A private investigator with two cases that are linked, coincidence?
Better Than Nun by Alice Loweecey is a wonderful paranormal mystery. I enjoyed the different characters and the use of ghostly vengeance.
Giulia Driscoll
Giulia is a strong character with a wonderful ability to see ghosts. She is a former nun, wife, and new mother. Giulia has this authoritative voice (her Nun school teacher voice) and attitude that she uses to make even grown men snap to attention.
Likes
- Giulia’s ability to see ghosts and now auras
- The friendship and closeness of the Driscoll Investigations team
- The pop culture references to old horror movies
- The separation of Family and Professional life
- The spirits, witches and tarot readers
Dislikes
- The story moves slowly at times
- Sometimes the DI team go off in crazy tangents
Mystery
The mystery is kind of basic, and just when you think it is a Scooby Doo type of ending there is a nice twist. However, the mystery moves slowly until the final chapters of the book.
4 Stars for Better Than Nun by Alice Loweecey
My rating for Better Than Nun by Alice Loweecey is four stars. The book has a nice vibe and is entertaining, especially for those of us who love that ghostly supernatural side of the story. I recommend this book to the paranormal cozy mystery readers out there.
