"Laugh-out-loud funny, this book is an easy, fast read, a mystery featuring nuns and hippies in unlikely situations. Yeah, it's dated (seriously, hippies?) but that's part of the fun. Dorothy Gilman also writes the Mrs. Pollifax books, which are delightful. "

    " This is an odd little book: nuns, hippies, migrant farmworkers, the mafia, and Buddhist guru. I like how nice the good guys are in how they go about their business. There is a simplicity and emphasis on knowledge that are a joy to see. "

    " This was a fun light-read. It is written in the seventies and talks about hippies, drug dealers, and the mafia. It has two funny lovable nuns as the main characters and is a very easy read. I guess you could say it is a mystery book. "

    " This was the first of Gilman's non-Mrs. Polifax titles that I read; unlike many authors' out-of-series attempts, I love this book. I laugh out loud every time I reread it. "
