Sister Pelagia and the White Bulldog is a good read with a plot that is convoluted and interesting. Murdered dogs bring Sister Pelagia onto a scene where several other murders occur. The author points the reader first one way and then another so it's not easy to determine who committed the murders. Normally I can follow the clues to the culprit but not this time. I like that in a mystery read. However, I am not sure that I one aspect of this novel. The author on occasion comments directly to the reader about the novel, Russia, the culture and the people. I like to see such musings at the end or the beginning of the book.
