Dropped Like a Bad Habit
(2025)(The second book in the Nun the Wiser Mystery series)
A novel by Melissa Westemeier
The bodies keep piling up along Chestnut Street…
When Sister Bernadette hears from the local pharmacist about plans to redevelop and gentrify their small community on Chestnut Street, she rallies her neighbors at The Abbey: Senior Living to help stop it. Chestnut Street is home to local mom-and-pop businesses that The Abbey’s residents frequently access. But when the healthy pharmacist mysteriously drops dead with no discernable reason, Detective AJ Lewis is stumped. Then another, younger, business owner dies with no explanation, and AJ is suspicious and starts to dig.
Sister Bernie, trying to solve small, seemingly nonsensical thefts, is intrigued and positions herself to collaborate with the police for what she hopes will be her second murder investigation. Why did two seemingly healthy men conveniently die? Who’s behind the shadowy Vision Corporation? Each question leads to a dead end or another question. And then there’s an unexpected death at The Abbey. Coincidence or connection?
Murder’s becoming a bad habit Sister Bernie and AJ are determined to break.
Perfect for fans of Richard Osman’s The Thursday Murder Club and Rita Mae Brown’s Sister Jane Mysteries. If you love witty amateur sleuths, charming small-town intrigue, and a murder mystery with heart, Dropped Like a Bad Habit is your next must-read!
