Second to Nun features a fun paranormal twist on the traditional mystery genre. The idea of a family ghost hanging around when trouble is afoot is rather charming. The suspense is well-plotted, and I found the book easy to read. WHile not the most intricate of plots, Second to Nun is still enjoyable and easy to digest. 4 stars.

DNF. This book is just boring. I can't get into it at all. The characters are flat, even though the setup seemed interesting.

I am reading everything I can find by this author now. The book was well paced and I enjoyed the protagonist very much. Will be looking forward to more in this series.

A former nun is the sleuth at the center of this mystery. The book is set at a Michigan resort with an impressive lighthouse. Guilia sets up a sham "vacation" to look into a series of troublesome events that have been happening at the resort. She arrives to find everyone a-flutter about a family ghost haunting the inn. A slightly nutty psychic has been commissioned to hold seances. The whole set up reminded me of a Nancy Drew mystery, in which the sleuth is the only person willing to believe that the ghost isn't real, and that there has to be a worldly explanation for the mischief. And there is plenty of malicious mischief in this book, perpetuated by the "ghost." There's also some high-tension action when the bad guy tries to push Guilia from the top of the lighthouse (let's face it, as soon as we saw a really tall showpiece lighthouse, we knew this was coming). I found this to be a fairly average cozy mystery. It's fun, a quick read, and it passes the time. The characters were reasonable and unoffensive.

An easy to read cosy mystery which I certainly would recommend. Haven’t read the first in the series so I plan to go back and read that as I really enjoyed the main character Guilia, an ex-nun, and her administrator Zane and office manager Sidney who make a great team at Driscoll Investigations. An interesting mystery that holds your attention throughout the story.
