The Disciple
by Sarah Sheridan
The disciple by Sarah Sheridan is the second book following Sister Veronica.
The convent is in turmoil after a baby is left. A mysterious tarot card, left with the baby, is the only clue left. Sister Veronica and her journalist friend Melissa take it upon themselves to find the baby’s mother! The task unearths far more sinister circumstances than expected.
This is a sequel and, as such, it would be best to have read the previous book. A lot of Sister Veronica’s thoughts and reactions are based in the first book, which I haven’t read.
The book does work as a stand-alone but the background knowledge would be useful to understand some of the main characters thought processes and doubts.
I was a little disappointed, that the protagonist plays a relatively small roll in the main plot. She is not a “super sleuth” and the police play a crucial part to all the more procedural action.
The plot is engaging and the twists and turns will keep a reader’s interest.
Overall, a fun read with a quirky new sleuth.
My thanks go to Bloodhounds Books and the author, Sarah Sheridan, for an ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review.
