Alice Loweecey writes cozy mysteries centered on Giulia Driscoll, a former nun who leaves the convent to become a private investigator. The character first appeared in the Falcone and Driscoll Investigation trilogy, starting with Force of Habit (2011), and then carried over into a longer series under her own name beginning with Changing Habits (2014). The nun-themed puns in the titles (Nun Too Soon, Second To Nun, The Clock Strikes Nun) are a hallmark of the series and signal the lighthearted tone Loweecey brings to the mystery genre.
Across both series, Loweecey produced ten novels following Giulia’s cases, wrapping up with Better Than Nun in 2019. She has also contributed to several anthologies, including Writes of Passage (2014), Bake, Love, Write (2014), and We’d Rather Be Writing (2015), with a more recent contribution to Occult Detective Magazine Mythos Special #2 in 2024. Her work blends humor and faith-based backstory with traditional mystery plotting, giving the books a distinctive identity within the cozy mystery genre.

Do I need to read the Falcone & Driscoll Investigation series before the Giulia Driscoll series?
The Falcone and Driscoll Investigation trilogy (Force of Habit, Back in the Habit, Veiled Threat) introduces Giulia Driscoll and sets up her transition from nun to private investigator. The Giulia Driscoll series picks up after that transition. Reading the first trilogy provides helpful backstory, but the Giulia Driscoll books can be enjoyed on their own.
