Review: They Still Call Me Sister

Book Title: They Still Call Me Sister
Author: Deborah Plummer Bussey

"They Still Call Me Sister" by Deborah Plummer Bussey is a Fictional novel, in which Main character Kathy Carpenter is trying to prove a murder which is being allegedly called as Suicide. Author, Deborah Bussey's writing is exceptionally lucid, which makes "They Still Call Me Sister" a great read.

The Story kicks off with Main character moving out of her house leaving her friends, family, and her life behind to joins Convent. In other words, "She leaves all things behind to follow Christ”. The whole book is like a big puzzle and various chapters are its pieces, as reader unravels more and more pieces the picture becomes clearer and clearer. The Story highlights, Kathys life when she was in Convent, how even after living in Convent for almost 14 years she was unable to connect with her life as Nun. Increasing chaos between what to do and what should be done, she finally ask, her release form vows. Later Kathy continues to work as a professional Psychiatrist. A girl named Chanelle who is beautiful, smart, simple and well paid but depressed comes to Kathy. Chanelle and Kathy know each other from Kathys days as nun, and they share a mutual bond like a mother and daughter. One day Chanelle is found dead. Kathy knows better than to call it a suicide and thus Tina (Kathys sister) and Kathy, starts search of the killer. What they found in their research of Mystery death is the bad face of the Social life, few poor choices and whole life down the drain.

The story starts in the year 1977 and suddenly second chapter talks about year 2005, so it was a bit confusing for me as to what is happening. But as I read along within few minutes it all started to make sense. Easy readability of story is one thing that many authors lack as they use lot of unnecessarily weighted words just to sound know-it-all but that's not the case with Deborah, her writing is as natural as two friends conversation, simple and sweet.

The book shows diversifying aspects which includes Psychology, Mystery, Death, Homicide, Suicide, Drugs, Convent, Sleuths Sisters, these aspects guides us to do something better with our life and not to waste it like some of the character in the book did.

This book surely is a nice read. You will not only be finishing a great book with this but might also learn a lesson for a life time. This book is deserving 4 out of 5 star candidate.
