Synopsis

Welcome back Giulia Falcone-Driscoll, the hilariously droll and popular former-nun-turned-PI, with an ending Publishers Weekly calls "exciting and suspenseful," you won't want to miss this one! Sub-Genre Tags: Humorous Mysteries, Women Sleuths, Cozy Mysteries, Private Investigator Books, Whodunnit Giulia Falcone-Driscoll has just taken on her first impossible client: The Silk Tie Killer. He's hired Driscoll Investigations to prove his innocence and they have only thirteen days to accomplish it. Talk about being tried in the media. Everyone in town is sure Roger Fitch strangled his girlfriend with one of his silk neckties. And then there's the local TMZ wannabes-The Scoop-stalking Giulia and her client for sleazy sound bites. On top of all that, her assistant's first baby is due any second, her scary smart admin still doesn't relate well to humans, and her police detective husband insists her client is guilty. About this marriage thing-it's unknown territory, but it sure beats ten years of living with 150 nuns. Giulia's ownership of Driscoll Investigations hasn't changed her passion for justice from her convent years. But the more dirt she digs up, the more she's worried her efforts will help a murderer escape. As the client accuses DI of dragging its heels on purpose, Giulia thinks The Silk Tie Killer might be choosing one of his ties for her own neck. Praise for NUN TOO SOON: "Exciting and suspenseful." - Publishers Weekly "For those who have not yet read these incredible mysteries written by an actual ex-nun, you're missing out...Brilliant, funny, a great whodunit; this is one writer who readers should definitely make a 'habit' of." - Suspense Magazine "With tight procedural plotting, more flavoured coffee than you could shake a pastry at, and an ensemble cast who'll steal your heart away, Nun Too Soon is a winner. I'm delighted that Giulia-and Alice!-left the convent for a life of crime." - Catriona McPherson, Agatha, Macavity, and Lefty Award-Winning Author of the Dandy Gilver Mystery Series "You'll love Giulia Falcone-Driscoll! She's one of a kind-quirky, unpredictable and appealing.

Nun Too Soon is a funny, snappy, well-paced mystery with a whodunnit that kept me guessing till the end." - Jennifer Hillier, Bestselling Author of Creep, Freak, and The Butcher "We're hooked! Entertaining characters and a twisty plot make Nun Too Soon a winner." - Sparkle Abbey, Author of the Pampered Pet Mystery Series "I love Giulia (I've always been a sucker for kick-ass nuns), and Loweecey really knows how to turn a phrase. The sense of detail is deft; the timing is exquisite, the characters are real." - James D.

Giulia Falcone-Driscoll has just taken on her first impossible client: The Silk Tie Killer. He’s hired Driscoll Investigations to prove his innocence and they have only thirteen days to accomplish it. Talk about being tried in the media. Everyone in town is sure Roger Fitch strangled his girlfriend with one of his silk neckties. And then there’s the local TMZ wannabes—The Scoop—stalking Giulia and her client for sleazy sound bites.

On top of all that, her assistant’s first baby is due any second, her scary smart admin still doesn’t relate well to humans, and her police detective husband insists her client is guilty. About this marriage thing—it’s unknown territory, but it sure beats ten years of living with 150 nuns.

Giulia’s ownership of Driscoll Investigations hasn’t changed her passion for justice from her convent years. But the more dirt she digs up, the more she’s worried her efforts will help a murderer escape. As the client accuses DI of dragging its heels on purpose, Giulia thinks The Silk Tie Killer might be choosing one of his ties for her own neck.
