Second to Nun

A former nun turned private investigator stars in "a fun and fast read with a lot of appeal" (Library Journal).

The owner of Stone's Throw Lighthouse Bed and Breakfast insists that a tarot reading told her to hire Driscoll Investigations to evict the family ghost. Since the ghost is cutting gas lines and flooding cellars, ex-nun Giulia and her husband Frank head to the B&B to discover the real perpetrator.

The client also has a family legend to share: a highwayman who stole a pile of gold. Giulia, on the other hand, has a pile of suspects—including a psychic the client hired to conduct weekly séances. It looks like there's not going to be much time for romance during this getaway. Instead, Giulia's juggling arson, creepy clown dolls, and the psychic going all Exorcist on her.
Then the ghost tries to push the client off the lighthouse and throw Giulia down three flights of stairs. It should've known better than to mess with an ex-nun. Giulia has connections, and she's about to use them . . .

"Giulia is a sympathetic, well-drawn character who has built a full life for herself after she leaving the convent, but appealing touches of the former nun remain." —Booklist

"Loweecey's characters are colorful without being caricatures." —Sheila Connolly, New York Times–bestselling author of An Early Wake
