Former African-American nun pens fiction murder mystery

In her debut fiction novel, “They Still Call Me Sister”, Deborah Plummer Bussey entertains readers with a stirring, cozy mystery about sexual obsession, a murder investigation and political scandal in Atlanta, Georgia. The protagonist, Kathy Carpenter, is an African-American psychologist and former nun whose character was inspired by Plummer Bussey’s life experiences and developed through the author’s creativity.

The book begins with an introduction to the Carpenter family when Kathy, a devout Catholic as a teenager, enters a convent in Cleveland, Ohio. The next chapter offers a stark change of scenery 28 years later with Kathy, who is now a coy psychologist, and her older sister Tina, a provocative interior designer for hip hop artists, at a bar in Atlanta. The odd-couple siblings discuss the mysterious death of one of Kathy’s former patients, Chanelle Trout, who allegedly committed suicide. Kathy feels this was not the actual cause of death and they eventually unravel clues that suggest Chanelle was murdered. [more]
