Dorothy Gilman is most famous as the author of the Mrs. Pollifax series, however she wrote some stand-alone novels as well.
In A Nun in the Closet (1975), two unworldly nuns from the Abbey of St. Tabitha are sent out into the world to decide what to do with a large mansion that has been unexpectedly left to the order. Sister John is the practical one - she can mend the Abbey's printing press when it breaks down. Sister Hyacinthe, from impoverished hill country, knows how to make meals from herbs.
When the nuns reach the house, they find it haunted... by a man who has been shot and begs them for sanctuary. The two nuns, and a few friends they gather along the way, protect the man from those who wish to finish the job they had started.
It's 1975, so this book does have some "Dated Death." Brill, Alfie and Naomi are hippies, learning to live off the land. The man they found is an establishment type...and he's the only one with a bullet in him.
