Jane Tennison is on the case again when a strange coffin with the body of a young nun is found buried in an old convent, that no one expected. Of course, the burial is not as peaceful as it seems.
This book is part of a series (7th of the detective Tennison) but can also be read as a standalone if you prefer. It reads well alone and is a full piece so you won't really miss any details or necessary ideas introduced in other books.
This book reads like a nod to women and women's treatment within male-dominated sectors. For the longest time in this story, Tennison has to fight to work on the case and not have it dismissed as a historic cold case. It is with Tennison's grit and determination that she is able to help keep the case on the table, find the killer, and identify the missing nun found in the coffin. This story hints to what happens when women aren't believed or listened to.
This was a pretty good murder mystery. There are points where it could have been written a bit more clearly but overall, worth the time if you like this genre.
