Description
1933, Mother Superior Agnes offers sanctuary to a desperate young woman fleeing for her life. Only to wake in the morning to discover a terrible fate has befallen one of the Sisters – in a room locked from the inside. Agnes can’t help but fear that she has allowed a great evil to enter the convent, but she has no idea how far reaching the consequences of that one fateful night will be…
Over 80 years later, Kate Parker, divorced, alcoholic, and broke, moves into the dilapidated old convent she dreams of turning into a bed and breakfast, whilst changing her life. Although the locals refuse to go near the place at night, Kate is determined to stay while the renovations take place. But when she starts to hear strange noises at night, and the crucifixes she had removed reappear on the walls, Kate starts to suspect she is not entirely alone in her new home.
A chilling and disturbing new novel from the bestselling author of The Annie Graham Series.

My thoughts
‘The Good Sisters’ is fantastic and I loved every moment of it. As good battled evil, main character Kate had her own personal demons to deal with too and both battles were ginormous.
The story pacing was perfect, flitting between the nineteen thirties and present day. Both timelines were equally as compelling to read which kept me turning those pages at breakneck speed. There was also just the right amount of spooky. I enjoyed reading this book in bed, enjoying the nighttime peacefulness to absorb it in all its spine tingling glory.
Helen writes in such a way that is easy to read. Every description is clear and the speech between the characters is effortless. I so found myself cheering Ollie and Kate on, dying to see how their relationship would develop.
This book is a winning haunted house novel and I enjoyed every minute of it. It’s frightening, tragic and gets top marks on the spooky scale! In fact, it’s spooktacular!
