I’m sorry but who edited this book? I had to reread multiple sentences because I was so confused - at one point it says “momentary lee” instead of momentarily?

I would not have finished this one if it weren’t my book club book.

I'm not going to lie, when I started this book I was a little worried. I was listening to it as an audiobook and at first with all of the talk of Catholicism I was pretty sure I was not going to be enjoying this book. As the mystery progressed I definitely got into it even though all of the Catholicism talk still wasn't my favorite, the mystery did suck me in. And by the end, now I need to hear the second book in the series. I think I'm going to do the same thing and listen to it as an audiobook because I enjoyed that medium.

Sister Holiday is not your conventional nun. She's covered in tattoos, she used to be in a rock band, oh and did I mention that she's a lesbian? After a tragedy in her life, she begins the process of joining The Sisters of The Sublime Blood in New Orleans, which would also mean she would be the music teacher at the Saint Sebastian School. She is settling in, her students are starting to drive her crazy, and then all of a sudden there is an arson at the school resulting in a coworker's death. After more fires and more death and what looks like someone trying to frame Sister Holiday, she begins to work with the fire inspector to try and solve the case. It won't go into any details because I don't want to spoil any of the twists and turns because they were great, I really enjoyed all of the different aspects of the story and the way the author wove them all together. Personally one of the biggest indicators of a good mystery novel is whether or not I can accurately guess the ending, or how much of the ending I can guess. I didn't guess any of the ending. Not one bit, even after the twist I definitely thought I was still somewhat right and was waiting for something else that didn't come. This author definitely put together a good mystery novel and that is what makes me want to listen to the second in this series immediately.
