Madame le Commissaire and the Dead Nun

From the edge of a steep cliff, where you can normally enjoy the sunset under the tall Aleppo pines, Isabelle Bonnet is greeted by a sight that is anything but idyllic.

A woman, unmistakably in a habit, is lying on the beach. The worst fears are quickly confirmed: the nun is no longer alive. When collecting rare medicinal plants, she evidently lost her footing and fell to her death. In any case that is the police’s (overhasty) conclusion.

However, Madame le Commissaire does not trust her colleagues’ initial deductions - and she is right. She starts investigating in the lonely, but picturesquely situated monastery in the Massif des Maures and quickly has more than one suspect. But who would really go so far as to murder a nun?
