  As Death Draws Near - Anna Lee Huber
                   Series

Well, not my favorite caper of Lady Darby's.  The investigation into the murder of not one but two nuns seem very drawn out.  Maybe there was too much information about the conflict between the Irish Protestants and the Catholics.  Very good for history buffs but a little too much for me.

Goodreads::
June 1831. In the midst of their idyllic honeymoon in England’s Lake District, Kiera and Gage’s seclusion is soon interrupted by a missive from her new father-in-law. A deadly incident involving a distant relative of the Duke of Wellington has taken place at an abbey south of Dublin, Ireland, and he insists that Kiera and Gage look into the matter.

Intent on discovering what kind of monster could murder a woman of the cloth, the couple travel to Rathfarnham Abbey school. Soon a second nun is slain in broad daylight near a classroom full of young girls. With the sinful killer growing bolder, the mother superior would like to send the students home, but the growing civil unrest in Ireland would make the journey treacherous.
