Publisher's summary

Sister Agatha and Father Selwyn make sleuthing a work of art. But will they paint themselves into a corner when they investigate the Village Art Society president's death?

As yuletide settles upon Gwenafwy Abbey, the rural Welsh convent's peace is shattered when Tiffany Reese, president of the Village Art Society, is found dead on the floor of the parish hall. Sister Agatha, whose interests lie more with reading and writing mystery stories than with making the abbey's world-renowned organic gouda, is not shy about inserting herself into the case. With the not-entirely eager assistance of Father Selwyn, she begins her investigation.

Sister Agatha has no shortage of suspects to check off her naughty-or-nice list, until finally, Tiffany's half-brother, Kendrick Geddings, emerges as the prime suspect. There never was any love lost between Tiffany and Kendrick, and of late, they had been locked in a vicious battle for control of the family estate. But if Sister Agatha thinks she has the case wrapped up, she'll have to think again.

As the days of Advent tick by, Sister Agatha is determined to crack the case by Christmas in The Hour of Death, Jane Willan's perfectly puzzling second Sister Agatha and Father Selwyn mystery.

Love it

Have fallen in love with Sister Agatha & Father Selwyn and the convent of Gwenabwy. Always richly drawn characters and a great plot that keeps you guessing til the end. I hope to hear more of this small Welsh village.

Peaceful Enjoyment

I really like peaceful way I was able to listen to this series. There is nothing in the stories that tricks the emotions and if miss some of the story by falling asleep you can pick it up without much effort. As in all her stories all the mysteries are tied up and the endings are happy. The stories are fun and enjoyable.

The amazing Sister Agatha

I’ve really been enjoying this series! It’s so nice to have quality books like this in the plus catalog. Sister Agatha fits right in among the great literary sleuths! This book was so good it flew by and I’ll definitely have to get a hold of some of this amazing “welsh brew.”

Pleasant Detective Story

Not exciting but a cleverly constructed plot and likeable heroine (Agatha was the major investigator). A little corny at times.

Wonderful Mystery

Thoroughly enjoyed reading this mystery.

Did not figure out the murderer until the end.

I will certainly look for more mysteries by this author.

Just what I needed!

Amidst the toil and turmoil of these crazy days, I found the two books in this series an amazing escape. The characters are lovable, the setting perfect, and the narration is perfect! Oh yes, the mystery is intriguing as well! :)
