An exciting opening and a thrilling and suspenseful conclusion make up for a smaller role played by Penny's pal Louise in this one, the final Penny Parker. The mystery deals with an old monastery and a strange cult leader who may be fleecing his flock.
A young girl apparently running away from home whom Penny and Jerry give a ride to ends up playing a pivotal part in the mystery, which involves an expensive sapphire. This entry is very wintery, with a lot of skiing, giving it atmosphere. Penny even gets trapped in the snow after an accident on the slopes.
