Publisher's Summary
Christine Bennett has left the cloistered world of nuns for the profane world of New York State, where murder and madness are often linked. At a town meeting, Christine volunteers to investigate a 40-year-old murder case long since closed. Now she'll move heaven and earth to exonerate a pair of retarded savant twins, now senior citizens, of their mother's murder on Good Friday in 1950.

Great mystery; mainly uplifting story :-)
This book is a breath of fresh air! :-) It’s one of the few “post Golden-Age” mysteries that leaves the reader feeling pretty darn good by the end of the book :-) :-) Also, the main character is believable and quite easy to empathize with. Don’t get me wrong; The Good Friday Murder is NOT all cotton candy (/treacle, for you UK readers ;-) ). Instead, it’s very realistic, with a great depiction of the large amount of tedious work one must slog through when investigating a murder, especially one committed decades ago. The characters, human relationships, and events are also very true-to-life :-) Oh! AND a HUGELY HAPPY shock: there’s no “you have no proof” scene in the revelation of whodunnit!!! FAR TOO MANY modern-day mystery novels use that particular trope, one that is supremely unrealistic, and basically a cop-out on the author’s part. (Criminologist speaking: it really is VERY unrealistic. Trust me; I’m a crime scientist.)
