Sister Agatha is 124 years old. She draws her final breath in the convent where she's spent most of her extraordinarily long life.
She makes it all the way to the Pearly Gates, only to be told she isn't quite done yet. Before she can properly rest, she's reminded of a few outstanding matters, including the four attempted murders from her wild quest for immortality in book one, and sent back to earth with a new mission: track down a handful of unsung heroes scattered across the globe and make things right.
It's the follow-up to O'Donoghue's cult hit Sister Agatha: The World's Oldest Serial Killer, a book reviewers compared to Richard Osman for its warmth and dark comic wit. This sequel promises more of the same: a globe-trotting, thoroughly unconventional nun, and a lot of trouble for someone who's meant to be atoning for her sins.
Bloodhound Books has built a genuine following for exactly this kind of sharp, funny, unmistakably British and Irish commercial fiction.
Add Sister Agatha at the Pearly Gates to your shelf if you like your comedy dark and your heroines completely unrepentant.
