A hardboiled comedy mystery, Monastery Nightmare is one of Ross H. Spencer's beloved Lacey Donahue series, following the perpetually befuddled Chicago private eye whose cases are as chaotic as his prose style. In this instalment, Donahue is dispatched to investigate sinister goings-on at a remote monastery, where shadowy figures and dark secrets lurk behind sacred walls. Spencer's signature wit is on full display, delivering rapid-fire, staccato sentences that keep the narrative racing while undercutting noir conventions with sharp satirical humour. A cult favourite among fans of comic crime fiction, the novel illustrates Spencer's unique ability to blend genuine suspense with laugh-out-loud absurdity.
