Produktbeschreibung

Deborah Plummer Bussey introduced readers to a new kind of mystery with her first Sister Nun mystery, and she gives fans the second psychological-social installment of her page-turning series. "The Family That Stays Together" continues the fast-paced adventures of sisters Kathy and Tina first chronicled in Bussey's debut book "They Still Call Me Sister." This time, the two women join forces to protect a family friend, a television celebrity who has been accused of murdering her ex-fiancé. But as usual, scandal, foul play and trouble lurk around every corner.In each mystery, Kathy is faced with the challenge of how to bring to light something she finds out in her clinical practice without breaking confidentiality. Her gregarious sister, Tina, aids her as the two amateur sleuths uncover suicides and accidental deaths as murders. "The Family That Stays Together" from Half Dozen Publications is not the typical murder mystery. The story sparks stimulating conversations for book clubs and all readers about diversity, gay issues and emotional maturity, as well as the contemporary challenges of Catholic faith.
