“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

Truly dreadful. Not a mystery. Not Catholic. Lousy writing. Nothing that should entice you to read this book.

Scorched Grace by Margot Douaihy is an unusual mystery because the sleuthing nun protaganist is a tattooed lesbia who loves using four letter words. Otherwise this is standard mystery writing with the usual red herrings and a predictable ending.

This debut mystery starring a lesbian punk nun didn’t live up to its promise (nor justify its long spot on my hold list). Read my full review here.
