Booklist Reviews 2018 November #1
Harrison delivers another entertaining installment in her charming historical-mystery series set in 1920s Cork, Ireland, and featuring Reverend Mother Aquinas, who has a knack for getting involved in murder cases. This time the murder victim literally lands at her feet while she's shopping in the Queen's Old Castle department store. She's come to the store at the invitation of old Joseph Fitzwilliam, the dour owner, who's agreed that Aquinas can take some of the items damaged in the recent flood for the poor children who attend the reverend mother's convent school. Shocked by the murder, she teams up with her old friend Dr. Scher and her former pupil, police Inspector Patrick Cashman, to find the killer. There are plenty of suspects, from the victim's rather odd family to the poorly paid clerks who work at the store to the young and badly treated shop apprentices. Using her powerful intellect and her intimate knowledge of the citizens of Cork, the reverend mother is the first to understand the motive behind the terrible deed. Sparkling descriptions of life in 1920s Cork and fascinating historical details combine to ably support a clever plot and an intriguing cast. Copyright 2018 Booklist Reviews.
