Dorothy Gilman's Nun in the Closet
I read and enjoyed the first few Mrs Pollifax mysteries (about a New Jersey grandmother who decides to become a spy), so when I found out Gilman had some stand-alone books, figured I’d check them out. This one involves a convent of cloistered nuns inheriting a huge house, and what happens when two nuns are sent off to check it out. This was written in 1975, so they obviously befriend some hippies, and I love it. They also find a guy in the house with gunshot wounds and various other guys are lurking around, so clearly the nuns need to figure out what’s going on! Which is tough, bc they have been totally isolated from the modern world. Anyway, very entertaining, mildly silly, great characters, some dated language, perfect light mystery story. A-.
