Summary

The season of Epiphany is in full swing at Gwenafwy Abbey when 10 new nuns from a convent in Los Angeles join the community of Anglican sisters in Wales. They bring energy, youthful enthusiasm, and more electronic equipment than Sister Agatha could have imagined. 

The arrival of the new nuns brings something else to the Abbey - a bit of unexpected notoriety. Claire Pennoyer, an ambitious young reporter for the Church Times, interviews the new sisters for a feature story. Murder is the last thing on anyone's mind when Claire is found dead on the beach, her mobile phone in the sand. A tragic death, says Constable Barnes. A selfie gone bad. Meanwhile, Sister Agatha is unconvinced and puts on her detective's hat. Clues abound including the mysterious discovery of a missing key baked into the king's cake for the feast of Epiphany. Sister Agatha's tangled list of suspects includes even the abbey's residents - and the beloved archbishop of Wales. Worst of all are her worries about the abbey's beloved Shetland pony, Bartimaeus, who may be reaching the end of a noble life. 

Time is running out as Sister Agatha uncovers a shocking reality. Will she reveal the truth hidden in an ancient document before it is too late?

I really enjoyed this series of books, however the narrator was different from the first two books and not quite as good. it took me a few chapters to get used to the change. I liked the story and the twist at the end was good.

Good story, shame about the narrator.

Excellent story but reader voice accents truly terrible. Story spoilt by accents. Will read next book not on audible .

Terrible accents

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
Loved the story but oh dear the narration was awful! Attempts at a Welsh accent resulted in a strange combination of Scottish, Welsh, Irish, with a touch of Lancashire thrown in for good measure. American terms; for example, 'sidewalk' are irritating considering the story is set in North Wales. Must admit that I found the frequent mention of stroking the pony's 'fetlock' rather amusing - as fetlock is a joint at the lower part of a pony's leg, perhaps the author meant forelock.

Good story though and if there is another book in the series I will buy a copy in the hope that the feedback has been acted upon.

Good story poor narration

Have been enjoying this series but this time the narrator’s abilities to both read in character and do any accents diminished this pleasure. Please return to the previous narrator whose characters are immediately identifiable by their “voice” in the story.

Once again a wonderful story but please return to the previous narrator
