Blurb/Summary:

My name is Sister Trixie Lavender, and I’m an occasionally possessed excommunicated nun.
Okay, that’s a lot to swallow at once. But it’s true I was booted from the convent after doing something unspeakable. Something I had no control over. Something that lives inside me to this day, exploding out like that chestburster in Alien when I least suspect it.
But I have help. My amazing friend Coop—the demon who saved me from an ugly end—remains by my side, loyal and true. She was Hell’s best tattoo artist back in the day, and together with my designs, we’re opening Inkerbelle’s Tattoos and Piercings, right in the heart of Portland’s most darling district, Cobbler Cove.
Of course, our bid to fit in would be a little less rocky if I could help Coop assimilate with humans, keep a lid on our sassy talking owl, Livingston…oh, and if someone hadn’t killed our landlord on day one—in our shop.
This mystery-loving, bumbling ex-nun and her trusty demon sidekick are on the case! If I don’t bumble my way right into my own demise first…

This new cozy mystery series from USA Today bestselling cozy mystery author Dakota Cassidy is sure to keep you on the edge of your seat as Trixie and Coop hunt for a killer. Then There Were Nun is book 1 in the all new, Nun of Your Business series.



Review:

This mystery had a little of everything.  The plot moves at a nice steady pace and keeps the reader intrigued and guessing.  The characters are funny and unique.  Dakota Cassidy is on her way to making another close-knit family community in her fictional North West town.

If you missed the debut of Sister Trixie Lavender, Coop, and Livingston in the last Witchless in Seattle book, don’t worry Dakota Cassidy has them all starting over in a new town together.  There are so many new characters to enjoy in the Nun of Your Business Mysteries series. Murder, mayhem, and new beginnings are part of the journey to the formation of Inkerbelle’s Tattoos.

Dakota Cassidy’s brand of humor is stamped all over Then There Were Nun.  Fans will be delighted. This book is a full story.  The ending is not a cliff-hanger rather a lead-in to the next story that sounds interesting.

I received an ARC for an honest review.
