The first of the series, Not a Blessed Thing, gets off to a lively and entertaining (if highly improbable) start. The three nuns live together in a Frank Lloyd Wright house on Chicago's Walton Street. The brother of one of them is a police inspector who conveniently "provides a source of infomation not easily available to nuns" (it is surprising how many of the relations or lovers of clerical women detectives turn out to be policemen!)
