Written several years after Murder in a Nunnery, but set only two years after the events of the first book More Murder in a Nunnery takes the reader back to the world of the fictional Harrington Convent. A body neatly wrapped in brown paper is found by the gardener, Mr Turtle, on his garden rubbish heap. The police are again summoned to the Convent and we meet again the now Deputy Commissioner Pearson, along with many of the characters so charmingly and empathetically described in the first book.
