The Tormented (The Sister Veronica Mysteries) Kindle Edition
Sister Veronica has arrived at her cousin’s mansion just in time for Christmas, and she didn’t realise so many other people had been invited. Soon it becomes clear how dysfunctional her extended family is.
Events take a dark turn when Giles, her cousin’s husband, collapses and dies in the kitchen. And when Sister Veronica finds out that he was poisoned to death, she sets about trying to solve the mystery. It soon becomes clear the killer is still in the house . . .
As the body count rises, Sister Veronica starts to suspect everyone—but will she have time to identify the killer when she’s become the next target?

About the author
Sarah was born in London and now lives in a village in South Northamptonshire. She gained a Masters degree in Eighteenth-Century French and English art from the Courtauld Institute of Art, before teaching art in secondary schools for thirteen years. After working with human rights organisations that protect minority groups from institutional abuse, Sarah worked towards a PhD at The Open University, researching the effect of secrecy on marginalised people, specifically the biological children of Roman Catholic priests. She has spoken about her research on various news programmes for the BBC and other media outlets around the world. It was this sense of secrecy and silencing that became the inspiration for her first crime novel, The Convent.
Sarah is hugely obsessed with reading and is amassing such an unrealistically large book collection that some of it is now in storage. She is also addicted to writing, and after inventing stories (mostly in secret) from a young age and having various articles and short stories published, she wrote a children's book, The Top Secret Diary of Davina Dupree - inspired by her daughter - in 2013. Overjoyed to hear that young readers were enjoying the story, she went on to write a series about Davina Dupree.
When she is not looking after her three children and menagerie of pets, or going for long walks with her wonderful partner Rich, Sarah can be found writing, while consuming large amounts of chocolate.

Sister Veronica has been invited were also going to be there. To say it's going to be a wonderful time would be exaggerating by a mile. Just trying to have a peaceful dinner is a nightmare.
Giles, her cousin's husband, dies in the kitchen. Thinking it may have been a heart attack, they are all surprised when they learn he was poisoned. Giles wasn't particularly well liked ... but who would have wanted him dead ..and why?
When Sister Veronica realizes that the killer must be one of her family, she's determined to find the culprit. But Giles isn't the only body that's going to fall ... and Sister Veronica may be the next target.
This is a compelling mystery with outstanding characters. Nicely paced, with twists and turns. For new readers of this series, although the 3rd in line, it is easily read as a stand alone. Sister Veronica is a stand out character. I love her being a crime fiction writer in secret. The beginning was a little slow for me ... but the author did a bang-up job with character development and introducing all the family members.
