The Smoking Nun

Written by Dakota Cassidy

Narrated by Hollie Jackson

Sister Trixie Lavender, reporting for Miss Marple duty! It's been months since the evil residing inside me has reared his violently helpful head, and things are pretty peachy. My demon sidekick Coop continues to assimilate with the unsuspecting humans, our tattoo shop is busier than ever, we're more and more involved in our little community of Cobbler Cove . . . heck, I'd even begun to attend the occasional Sunday sermon (after safely confirming my body wouldn't burst into flames upon entering Our Lady of Perpetual Grace, of course). Yep, life is pretty good for me and mine.

Until the shocking murder of our new friend, Sister Ophelia, during a church-sponsored speed-dating event. Talk about flirting with death-literally. I can't fathom who'd want to kill a sweet little ol' nun, but as I've learned by now, life in small-town Oregon isn't always what it seems. When a second corpse is found, the stakes are even higher as Coop and I, along with our good friend Higgs, race to unmask a killer.

But when my demon breaks free yet again, the killer's not the only one in danger of being exposed . . .

The Smoking Nun by Dakota Cassidy Paranormal cozy mystery. Book 4 of the Nun of Your Business mysteries. Should really be read in series order since there are character developments from book to book as well as relationships, and an overall ARC that is not yet fully revealed. This book 4 has Trixie Lavender once again playing amateur sleuth to a murder. Detective Tansy is supportive of Trixie and gang helping to uncover clues and aiding the investigation often by way of technology (pretend?) ineptness. Trixie talks with witnesses, family members, and coworkers for anything they may remember to help solve the puzzle. Trixie does always encourage those people to follow up with the police if they reveal anything hat might be of importance in solving the crime. Cohorts Coop, Higgs and talking demon dog Jeff are often right in the middle of the investigation. Spoilers below.****Trixie is now 4 for 4 and getting better at the game of murder. It will be interesting to see how the emerging demon within Trixie changes the stakes now that Higgs knows of its existence. And the dog! I can’t wait to hear the conversations between Jeff and Higgs.
