A convent’s buried past reaches into the present

Set across two time periods, The Good Sisters links a 1933 convent mystery with Kate Parker’s attempt to rebuild her life more than eighty years later. Mother Superior Agnes’s decision to shelter a frightened young woman is followed by a death behind a locked door, establishing the convent’s troubling history. In the present-day strand, Kate moves into the same neglected building with plans to turn it into a bed and breakfast, but unexplained nighttime sounds and the return of removed crucifixes suggest that its past has not stayed contained. The novel uses the convent setting to connect isolation, faith, secrets, and a persistent supernatural threat.

1933, Mother Superior Agnes offers sanctuary to a desperate young woman fleeing for her life. Only to wake in the morning to discover a terrible fate has befallen one of the Sisters - in a room locked from the inside. Agnes can't help but fear that she has allowed a great evil to enter the convent, but she has no idea how far reaching the consequences of that one fateful night will be...

Over 80 years later, Kate Parker, divorced, alcoholic, and broke, moves into the dilapidated old convent she dreams of turning into a bed and breakfast, whilst changing her life. Although the locals refuse to go near the place at night, Kate is determined to stay while the renovations take place. But when she starts to hear strange noises at night, and the crucifixes she had removed reappear on the walls, Kate starts to suspect she is not entirely alone in her new home.

A chilling and disturbing novel from the bestselling author of The Annie Graham Series.
