Patrick O'Mally and Grace Johnson are a couple of senior citizen sleuths from New York City who have endeared themselves to readers around the world. Now they return in OLD HABITS DIE HARD: The Case of the Missing Mother Superior. Sister Babs makes her first appearance in this Patrick and Grace Mystery. She is a hilarious psychic nun, who says, "My habit has a habit of its own"--a secret pocket sewn to the inside of her habit in which she hides a bottle of Drambuie, which she insists she uses "only for emergencies." Sister Mary Margaret, who does not like Sister Babs in the least, shares "Oh, yes, they say she only gets a 'vision' when she's 'in the spirit.' I've seen her in action; it's when she's 'in HER spirits!'" This one is so much fun that if I were a Catholic I might be afraid of being excommunicated! Of course, if you listen to the REAL news in the Church, this one seems pretty mild.
