Title: The Sanctity of Sloth
Author: Greta Boris
Genre: Suspense, Mystery
Series: The Seven Deadly Sins
There’s one thing more dangerous than testifying to a crime—staying silent.
Locked in the ruins of a California Mission, Abby Travers watches
helplessly as a girl dies outside her window. As she struggles between
her moral obligation to come forward as a witness, and her commitment to
a Medieval religious practice that requires her to retreat from the
world, the situation spins out of control.
Abby’s hesitation starts a series of catastrophes. She finds herself at
the center of a deadly cover up where every minute counts and indecision
could be fatal. She questions all her beliefs and everyone she knows
becomes suspect. To save herself and those she loves, she must break
free from her self-imposed prisons of stone and fear.
The Sanctity of Sloth is a taut, psychological thriller that answers the
question: What happens when a good woman does nothing? Fans of Paula
Hawkins and A.J. Finn will enjoy this third book in Greta Boris’s Seven
Deadly Sins Series.
"The Sanctity of Sloth" was an emotional read for me, because I recognized a lot of features of myself in Abby Travers, the protagonist of the story. In the face of tragedy, Abby is the person who tends to focus inward rather than outward, who keeps her feelings bottled up, and who finds herself isolated without even realizing it until the isolation has already happened. This connection made the book quite personal for me, but even without it, I would've enjoyed the story: suspenseful, thrilling, it it has all the elements of an excellent mystery novel.
