Bad Faith by Aimee and David ThurloItem: Bad Faith by Aimee and David Thurlo
Bad Faith is the first book in the new mystery series featuring Sister Agatha. I really like the Thurlos’ writing and this book is no exception. Sister Agatha is an extern nun at the Our Lady of Hope Monastery located in New Mexico. As an extern, she is allowed to leave the cloistered monastery to run errands for the monastery. As the book opens Sister Anna is struggling to drive the monastery’s old car, nicknamed the Anti-Chrysler, but it needs major mechanical work and the monastery lacks the money necessary for repairs. When Sister Agatha finally gets the car to their mechanic, he offers to fix it if he can find the parts, but warns it will take some time. He does, however, donate a classic Harley with a sidecar to the monastery. When the priest who says mass for the monastery is killed during a service, the sheriff from the local town arrives to investigate. He turns out to be an old friend of Sister Agatha’s. The sheriff is accompanied by a soon to be retired trained police dog, Rex. The sheriff tells Sister Agatha the dog will be put to sleep if they can’t find a new owner. The nuns quickly adopt the dog and the investigative team of Sister Agatha and Pax who has been renamed. The book is well written and great fun. I highly recommend it just as I do all of the Thurlos’ books. Rating: 8
