As before mentioned, this is NOT to be compared with the book by Dorothy Gilman. But they both have nuns in them.
These nuns are fiercely conflicted or tightly repressed, dealing with real human emotions...well...sex. Sex can become pretty emotional if you obsess over it. Maybe they should require prospective nuns to have a few normal human relationships before they're allowed to enter the religious life.
Okay, I'm just kidding. A little. Besides, these are made-up people who probably bear no resemblance to real life people, anywhere, anyhow. But they're thoroughly enjoyable made-up people and you get to like them quickly. I bonded so strongly with the main character, probation officer Callie Sinclair, that I hated seeing her falling for the accused woman, an owner of a lesbian bar who had a long history of flitting from relationship to relationship. (a.k.a slut)
The mystery and detection part of it all was pretty cool even though Sinclair was not a real detective. The author may have been setting up for a series there at the end. If so, I might try another. Probably not, though.
