Mix it toegther with an unorthdox writing style that I haven’t read before and I was intrigued.
The premise of this debut novel is most definiely unique. This is a queer Sister Act (who doesn’t love those films) with a unsaintly nun who has a thrill for the chase, for the heat and for incrinating herself.
Scorched Grace is anything but a typical crime thriller. This book was the perfect welcome disraction, I love mixing up what I read but whilst I am a YA reader, adult mysteries are the perfect in-between books. It took me by complete surprise but what’s more is that I haven’t been able to put it down over the weekend either. Okay so I did a terrble thing, I judged a book by it’s cover and not realising quite was this book has instore. To piece together the clues of this high-stakes mystery, she must first reckon with the sins of her checkered past-and neither task will be easy.Īn exciting start to Margot Douaihy's bold series for Gillian Flynn Books that breathes new life into the hard-boiled genre, Scorched Grace is a fast-paced and punchy whodunnit that will keep readers guessing until the very end. Sister Holiday is more faithful than most, but she's no saint. Her investigation leads down a twisty path of suspicion and secrets in the sticky, oppressive New Orleans heat, turning her against colleagues, students, and even fellow Sisters along the way.

Sister Holiday, a chain-smoking, heavily tattooed, queer nun, puts her amateur sleuthing skills to the test in this debut crime novel.
