An original short story taken from the anthology Motives for Murder, by members of The Detection Club
From the award-winning author, Alison Joseph, comes a new short story about Sister Agnes.
When Kayleigh, a young girl living at the hostel Sister Agnes works at, is found murdered, Sister Agnes can't believe that her boyfriend Bernard is responsible. As she quietly investigates the death, she meets Bernard's unpleasant twin brother, Mansell, and Mansell's put upon wife, Gina. Who in this twisted circle of changing relationships had call to see Kayleigh dead? As Sister Agnes knows too well, however, eventually there must always be a reckoning of sins.
