A review by sls0369
Force of Habit by Alice Loweecey
4.0
Giulia Falcone is a former nun trying to make her way in the world. She works for P.I. Frank Driscoll, first as his administrative assistant, then as an investigator-in-training. When the case they're working on takes a personal turn, their relationship and Giulia's life are put in jeopardy.
I very much enjoyed the premise of the former nun as a private investigator. Watching Giulia struggle with the real world after being so sheltered in the nunnery was very interesting. Giulia isn't a shrinking violet, though. She stands up for herself and what she believes in, and doesn't take any crap. I wanted to punch Frank on her behalf for a few chapters, but I eventually got over it.
Honestly, it took a little while for me to get into this book, but once I did I didn't want to put it down, including staying up way too late to read just one more chapter.
I had the honor of meeting the author at a book signing and talk a few weeks ago. I wish her luck with her other books.
