From the author of the classic mysteries starring the irrepressible CIA spy, Mrs. Pollifax, comes a delightfully different mystery with a most unholy twist. Filled with all the hilarious surprises and good old-fashioned suspense that her fans have come to love, A Nun in the Closet is the story of two high-spirited nuns who accidentally stumble into a dangerous plot involving ghosts, gangsters, and Protestants.

This was a fun, fast paced story. It’s like Sister Boniface meets the 1970s. Very cute.

This fun book is set amidst the counter-culture of the 70s, seen through the eyes of two nuns who have been locked away in cloister for years, only to find themselves confronting the world of hippies, drugs, and gangsters when they leave the convent for a trip to upstate New York. The story has a sense of innocence about it that reminded me of the 1959 movie "Some Like It Hot."

I loved this book! Roslyn, the reader perfectly captured all the characters’ quirks and personalities, and she did an awesome job portraying the times (1970s) the action took place. Laughed out loud quite a bit, too, and I can’t wait to recommend this audiobook to all my peeps. Thanks you!!

This is an early standalone by DG, and I think the naivete of the protagonists is a bit forced. I am a huge fan of Mrs. Pollifax and DG in general. But I found this one to be kinda boring. It moved very, very slowly and the conclusion was neither a surprise nor did it warm me to the characters.

Huge fan of Dorothy, but...
