The newest offering in The Monastery Murders series.

Following the ancient tradition, ordinands from the College of the Transfiguration gather at first light on Ascension morning to sing their praises from the top of the college’s tallest tower. Not one to miss any liturgy, Felicity finds herself swept up in worship as she listens to the timeless words. But her delight quickly turns to horror when a black-robed body hurtles over the precipice and lands at her feet. Her investigative instincts immediately kick in when she sees a double-headed snake emblem clutched in the lifeless hand. Was this suicide? Or murder?

MY THOUGHTS ON THIS BOOK

 The next installment in the Monastery Murder’s Series by Donna Fletcher Crow is Unholy Communion. Ms. Crow weaves together a cast of characters, the many twists and turns bringing this thriller/mystery together and gives readers a story that will immensely enjoy. I love the vivid details Donna gives of the setting and the time era, and it clearly shows the extent of research she does for her books. The only thing for me was that it took me a while to get into the story, but after several chapters, the book had my full attention!

If you enjoy a good clean thriller, you will enjoy An Unholy Communion. And while you are reading, don’t forget to pick up the first two books in this series, A Darkly Hidden Truth and A Very Private Grave.

My Thoughts on this Book!

I didn’t read the first book in this series but that was ok, the author gives enough background that this can be easily read as a stand alone. This one start with Felicity wanting to become a nun, but this was like an impulsive decision, so she was talked into checking out the convents to see what she really thought about it. Felicity is a fun, happy person, not being afraid of changes in her life, and she didn’t mind taking a dare either. Like in the beginning when she dressed as a boy to go check out the new murder so her fathers paper would have first dabs at it. Her character just makes the book fun and interesting to read. I kept reading because I really wanted to find out what would happen to her. Felicity’s journey though this book was so full of adventure you will not want to put it down!

This was my first book by the author. With her inventing creative, interesting and likeable  characters, and with the unique history of the churches, along with the mystery and suspence, she writes a wonderful historical story that will stay with you for a while. I don’t like giving too much away, but you will love the story of Felicity and her adventurous journey.

I received this book free from Kregel Publishing. I was not required or expected to write a positive review. The opinions here are my own.
