Title: Not just a youth level book
Review: Surprised by the quality of this story, I did look up this author online. She was apparently better known for her lives-of-saints books, but this mystery is right up there with many from more well known authors. The main characters are well drawn and the suspense is palpable. The silly young woman who will not tell of her very rational fear for her life is the cause of much plot twisting (including a few murders and attempted murders), but the best characters are the Mother Superior and the sheriff, both fleshed out with real personalities, worries, qualities and both very sympathetic characters. Set in the bayous of Louisiana, this story is one I am so glad I fell over on Librivox free audio online. Hubbard writes so much better than many writers today.
