Occasionally the translation feels a little clunky and if you get distracted it might be difficult to pick up the thread because it meanders in a way Russian seem particularly good at. Don't expect a fast-pace but do invent stories for the patients at the clinic. I was pleased by the way the author tied up the little snippets given to the reader throughout even when they were 'red herrings' which to me is the sign of a good mystery writer, and I also liked the touch that it wasn't solved by one person alone but for their bumbling side-kick and instead gently guided the reader to its conclusion.

The monks of New Arafat believe the Black Monk that haunts their centuries-old island monastery is responsible for the death of one of their own. When the Black Monk claims more victims--including Bishop Mitrofanii's envoys--Sister Pelagia goes undercover to see exactly what person, or what spirit, is at the bottom of it all.
