Synopsis

In search of respite, China takes off to St. Theresa's Monastery with her friend Maggie, a former nun. The goal is a brief, tranquil retreat—but there's a conflict at the convent. The Mother Superior has recently died, and a battle over the future of St. Theresa's suggests that her sudden demise might not have been accidental. Now, China's quest for a replenished spirit takes second place to a more earthbound pursuit: catching a killer.

This was a turning point for the main character. Taking a break from too much life interaction, China decides to go on a retreat for peace of mind. What she finds is more than peace and tranquility.

La storia non sarebbe neanche male, ma sono assai insoddisfatta dalla sua conclusione: alla fine, ci sono diversi reati, ma non vengono mai denunciati pubblicamente e i colpevoli la fanno praticamente franca, anche grazie alla protagonista. Ci sono dei casi in cui puoi anche "approvare" che qualcuno......more
