What readers are saying about A Vow of Silence:

“Found myself turning the pages quicker and quicker to find out what was really going on in the convent. I liked Sister Joan herself and found the author really brought the other nuns to life.” D

“I was stunned by the quality of her writing, and loved the characterisations. Sister Joan captured me at once, and the mystery was as entertaining as I could wish.” Elizabeth

“I really enjoyed this story. It had me gripped and I couldn’t guess what was coming next.” Helen

THE DETECTIVE
Sister Joan is thirty-five and a natural rebel. Coming late to her vocation, she still remembers life outside the convent. But having left behind her lover to serve God, she is now committed to her path. When her Mother Superior sends her to the Cornwall House, her loyalties are split — but she knows her ultimate duty is to the truth.

THE SETTING
The bleak, misty loneliness of Bodmin provides the backdrop to these novels. The moor stretches away to the horizon and there are patches of pale grass starred with wild flowers with clumps of blackberry and wild gooseberry. Here and there, the low ground dips lower into a narrow valley of bracken. Over the whole moor broods an air of waiting calm. Sister Joan is lucky to have the use of the House’s stable mare, Lilith, to travel to her teaching duties at the local primary school, where she hears local gossip.
