You Can't Bluff the Sharp-Eyed Sister 5

A shrewd, young priestess-in-training is set a murder to solve in this new mystery manga from the creator of The Apothecary Diaries! By day, Chloe lives at a convent.

While the noble who attacked her admitted to the murder two years ago, she can’t shake the feeling that the true mastermind is still at large. As the selection exam draws to a close and Erald prepares to free Salomé of her curse, time is running out for Chloe to uncover what truly happened to Ciro that day…
