Darkening Sky by Alison Joseph

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. When Walker's handsome brother Alasdair turns up at the funeral and announces that he believes Walker's death was no accident, he enlists Agnes's help in tracking down the killer. By tracing Walker's childhood friends and comrades in the Falkland's War, Agnes stumbles on Walker's own writings of horror and revenge on an unnamed man. Agnes feels she is beginning to pick up the trail of truth. "The Darkening Sky" is a cleverly realised novel for our times, based on the moral dilemmas of Dante's Inferno.

'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
