Sister Holiday, a chain-smoking, heavily tattooed, queer nun, puts her amateur sleuthing skills to the test in this “unique and confident” debut crime novel (Gillian Flynn).
When Saint Sebastian's School becomes the target of a shocking arson spree, the Sisters of the Sublime Blood and their surrounding community are thrust into chaos.
Unsatisfied with the officials' response, sardonic and headstrong Sister Holiday becomes determined to unveil the mysterious attacker herself and return her home and sanctuary to its former peace. 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 is more faithful than most, but she's no saint. 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.
An 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 listeners guessing until the very end.

I enjoyed the book and all of its contrasting energies between good and bad, and the things the characters tell themselves to either justify or punish themselves.

“Scorched Grace" by Margot Douaihy
I was worried at first that this one would be too much about religion and God for me. I mean its about a nun, so of course its going to cover some religion and does throw out a few bible verses but it wasn’t the main focus.
I found the concept to be unique and fun. I mean how can you go wrong with a chain-smoking, crime solving queer nun!
The ending provided a good twist and it was 🔥!

Mixed review

On the other hand there was nothing special about it.
The Characters and writing were flat. The mystery and it's precursors overdone at this point.
Maybe a fun read for someone interested in New Orleans or Catholic schools but even those descriptions were either dull or unbelievable.
Maybe I went in expecting too much and if you just want a readable murder mystery you'll enjoy it?
