Cat's Eyewitness: A Mrs. Murphy Mystery by Rita Mae Brown
4.0
Harry and Susan both find themselves at the monastery of Mt. Carmel, looking for a moment of peace. When they stop before the statue of the Virgin Mary, they are shocked to find that she is crying tears of blood. The Abbot of the order asks them to keep it quiet while the "miracle" is investigated. The news leaks anyway and soon the monastery is overrun with pilgrims.
After a snowstorm blankets the area, Susan's own great uncle Thomas is found dead before the Virgin Mary. Harry being Harry, is convinced there is foul play and, of course, events eventually prove her right.
I had not enjoyed the last book or two in the series the way I used to, but this one seems to be back on track. Both Harry and Susan had a little more angst than previously, but it was well handled. There is an acknowledgement of the passage of time. What I truly loved is the female friendships in this books and the growth they have achieved. This book was a celebration of womanhood and I loved it.
