Scorched Grace by Margot Douaihy
5.0
Picture a woman covered in tattoos with a gold tooth and candy red lipstick smoking a cheap cigarette. She is either playing the guitar or just got out of a bar fight and likely has a black cat named Voodoo following her around. Do you have the image in your head yet?
Did you picture a Nun??!! If you didn’t, let me introduce you to Sister Holiday… She’s no Sister Mary Clarence (legendary fictitious nun from Sister Act) but she’s a close second!
When mysterious fires break out at Saint Sebastian’s School, Sister Holiday uses her sleuthing skills to crack the case, despite all signs of arson pointing to her. During her investigation, the reader is intermittently introduced to Sister Holiday’s former life and we learn that no matter how far we try to out run our past, it will always catch up to us!
The fires in this mystery/crime thriller set in New Orleans are not the only heat on this book. Scorched Grace burns with police brutality, LGBTQ injustice, infamous New Orleans weather trauma, and more. Margot writes these themes with grace, leaving the reader anticipating the next book in this heated and bold series!
