Winter is thawing, but in a small-town convent there lurks an ice-cold killer
Her childhood friends wanted careers, but Brigit Ann Reilly spent her youth looking forward to her wedding—her wedding to God. When she finally gets to don the habit, her new order sends her to Maryville, where a former sister is poised to become Rome’s first Irish-American saint. Brigit has no time to worry about Vatican politics. She’s about to become a martyr herself. Brigit is found dead in the basement of her local library, her corpse swarming with ten poisonous water moccasins. When ex-FBI investigator Gregor Demarkian hears of her death, he is puzzled by two things: Water moccasins are not native to upstate New York, and Brigit died of hemlock poisoning, not the snakes’ venom. As Maryville whips itself into a pious frenzy in search of evidence for its hometown hero’s sainthood, Demarkian will attempt his own miracle by finding justice for the murdered young nun.

From Publishers Weekly
Retired FBI agent Gregor Demarkian, last seen in Haddam's Halloween mystery, Quoth the Raven , takes on a new and engrossing murder case in time for St. Patrick's Day. Duty in the form of an anxious John Cardinal O'Bannion beckons Demarkian to Maryville, N.Y., where aspiring nun Brigit Ann Reilly has been found dead during a furious rainstorm, her corpse covered with water moccasins. Demarkian's expertise with poison is put to use as he determines that Brigit's death was caused by hemlock rather than snakebite and that the snakes were merely snuggling up to her body for warmth; however, he is perplexed because water moccasins are not indigenous to the North. Suspicion falls upon the owners of local menageries--Sam Harrigan, an actor who escapes media attention by living in Maryville, and Josh Malley, the restless 25-year-old kept man of 62-year-old bank owner Miriam Bailey. Josh's affair with a younger woman, a glitch in the bank's computer system, a threatening letter sent to the motherhouse of the Sisters of Divine Grace and the victim's melodramatic affection for secretive people all come into play in this lucid and enjoyable yarn.

Review
“Haddam plays the mystery game like a master.” —Chicago Tribune “Classic mysteries are back in vogue, and Jane Haddam’s . . . Gregor Demarkian series is one of the finest.” —Romantic Times Book Reviews “[Haddam] sets her holiday scenes with colorful detail.” —The New York Times
About the Author
Jane Haddam (b. 1951) is an American author of mysteries. Born Orania Papazoglou, she worked as a college professor and magazine editor before publishing her Edgar Award–nominated first novel, Sweet, Savage Death, in 1984. This mystery introduced Patience McKenna, a sleuthing scribe who would go on to appear in four more books, including Wicked, Loving Murder (1985) and Rich, Radiant Slaughter (1988). Not a Creature Was Stirring (1990) introduced Haddam’s best-known character, former FBI agent Gregor Demarkian. The series spans more than twenty novels, many of them holiday-themed, including Murder Superior (1993), Fountain of Death (1995), and Wanting Sheila Dead (2005). Haddam’s most recent novels are Blood in the Water (2012) and Hearts of Sand (2013).

Gregor Demarkian for St. Patrick's Day.
By Michele L. Worley
Haddam (a.k.a. Orania Papazoglou) is very careful in each book not to give away the identity of any murderers in previous books, so if you insist, you could read them in any order. Her characters' development is spread out over time, however, so if you don't read _Precious Blood_ first, you won't appreciate how much the events of that book affected the Archbishop of Colchester, or how Gregor happens to know various members of the Sisters of Divine Grace. (See my About Me area for a list of the 1st 15 Demarkian books if you want to read them in order. This one's #5.)
As it happens, the characters don't just stay put on Cavanaugh Street and wait for Gregor to get a new case. Bennis Hannaford is 6 weeks into her new novel, and won't leave her apartment until she has a draft. (She *does* have to work for a living, remember - her father disinherited her and all her sisters years ago. All she has is what she's made herself. She's just good at it.) Tibor's teaching another class at Independence College (see _Quoth the Raven_); the rest are on vacation in warmer climates, since it's late February. Gregor, feeling cast adrift, has gone to an FBI convention in New York...where the Archdiocese of New York finds him on behalf of John Cardinal O'Bannion of Colchester.
Brigit Ann Reilly, a postulant in the Motherhouse of the Sisters of Divine Grace, was found dead in the local public library, covered with live snakes - but she died of hemlock poisoning, and the snakes are de-fanged pets. Do they belong to Josh O'Malley, the young gigolo who married Miriam Bailey, the bank president? (If there are such things as trophy husbands, Josh is no prize.) Or Miriam herself, a 60-ish pillar of the Catholic Church who buys toys for Josh, e.g. a menagerie, a Ferrari...but doesn't show any other signs of a mid-life crisis... Or to Sam Harrigan, the Fearless Epicure, an old friend of Bennis' with an outrageous cooking show? (And a yen for Glinda Daniels, the librarian...)
Maryville is gearing up for St. Patrick's Day, a major holiday in a town founded by Irish immigrants, especially now that the founder of the Sisters' order is on her way to becoming the first Irish-American saint. (Even Father Doherty's parish of South American immigrants are joining the party. Why? "Someday there will be enough of us here, we will have a celebration for St. Rose of Lima. Since we have always helped them, they will have to help us.") Miriam's assistant, Don Bollander, makes the mistake of wishing that Maryville could become another Lourdes - but be careful what you wish for...
A few of the Sisters we met in _Precious Blood_ only briefly have bigger roles here, especially Reverend Mother General, "a cross between Queen Elizabeth I and Medusa," as Father Doherty puts it (he's never dared to look her in the face). Father Doherty himself is an impressive figure - a doctor from a wealthy family, who discovered a vocation after an unhappy marriage, ended by his wife's death in a drunk-driving accident.
_A Great Day for the Deadly_ actually has a locked-room situation at one point, and as Gregor says, "There just isn't any such thing as a locked-room mystery." Gregor's favorite fictional detective is Nero Wolfe, who gets to just sit and eat, and doesn't have to listen to lectures about cholesterol. He *hates* John Dickson Carr, and says that at least Mrs. Christie had the good sense never to write a locked-room mystery. (Bennis gives him books from time to time, and it's funny to watch him react to them - see especially _A Stillness in Bethlehem_, where she lives to regret giving him a biography of J. Edgar Hoover.)
I particularly like Haddam's character development. (Yes, I've read other amazon reviews from people who hate it.) The witnesses and families of victims in her stories don't just pick up as though nothing happened; they have to live with the consequences. Cardinal O'Bannion's colleagues, including Tibor, are worried that he's been making himself sick after what happened in _Precious Blood_ the previous year, and Sister Scholastica is still haunted by the deaths of childhood friends in that story.
If you think Bennis is the exception to this rule, after _Not a Creature Was Stirring_ and her mother's death from multiple schlerosis, you just haven't been reading the right books in the series. See especially _Act of Darkness_.
Note that this story takes place before Armenia declared independence during the breakup of the Soviet Union. The changes on Cavanaugh Street begin in the next book, _A Feast of Murder_.

Sisters, shamrocks and snakes: oh my!
By dikybabe
If you like mysteries that are rich with detail and multiple plot lines, you will like the writing of Jane Haddam. Gregor Demarkian is a most interesting sleuth with many connections in the community of Maryville from past detections in other novels. As we are near St. Paddy's Day, I picked up this volume by Haddam in honor of the event. I have not read any other Demarkian mysteries, but I will. I like the snippets of characterization that are revealed piece by piece. As a non-Catholic, I am fascinated by the life of the convent and the political structure of the church. This inticately knit community lends itself to the mystery. If you like mystery, try on a Jane Haddam read.

I love how she interweaves Demarkian's past
By J. Stein
I am a big fan of this series, currently reading them in order from start to finish and hope to make it through all 29. Gregor Demarkian, Father Tibor, Bennis Hannaday and all the others are not your typical characters. I love how she interweaves Demarkian's past, the Armenian community, religion and all of the various parts to create her mysteries.They are neither cozy nor graphic, but comfortably in between.
