#ReverendMotherMystery
1925 heavily Catholic Cork,Ireland.

Mother solve 🔽

kspenmoll 🔼 the crime. Was her death connected to politics? To her father‘s recent death by similar means? Or to some hidden evil? #nunlit (edited) 7d

Just finished this, only a few hours shy of the expiration of the file 😧

Though l can't say it was fantastic. I will always finish a mystery because l want to know whoddunit, but there was very little here other than curiosity. The characters where just ok, the era wasn't vivid at all, not even the historical fact (and l love lreland in this time).

It was just ok.
