Attualmente non vi sono conversazioni su questo libro. 4 / 5 ⭐️‘s “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 This debut mystery starring a lesbian punk nun didn’t live up to its promise (nor justify its long spot on my hold list).

When Saint Sebastian's School becomes the target of a shocking arson spree, the Sisters of the Sublime Blood and their surrounding New Orleans community are thrust into chaos. Patience is a virtue, but punk rocker turned nun Sister Holiday isn't satisfied to just wait around for officials to return her home and sanctuary to its former peace, instead deciding to unveil the mysterious attacker herself. Her investigation leads her down a twisty path of suspicion and secrets, turning her against colleagues, students, and even fellow Sisters along the way. And to piece together the clues of this high-stakes mystery, she must at last reckon with the sins of her own past. Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |

The book was full of unnecessary elevated language, just for the author to prove she could. After a while, we get it, you are smart, message received. But in using this type of language, you are sabotaging your own book in order to drill that message into the reader’s head. This was a serious distraction from the story.
The book contained too many characters. Every minor character with only a single appearance was named. I counted about 70 characters in the book. Way too many. The author also used too many flashbacks to fill in Sister Holiday’s past. Many of the flashbacks came without any warning, right in the middle of a paragraph about the present, which became confusing after a while. Less flashbacks would have been better.
Finally, the ending was rushed and ridiculous. Sister Holiday who had spent 300 pages finding the arsonist, then helps her escape? That was totally out of character as was Sister Augustine’s final actions.
The author has written a sequel, which I will read, but at least, based upon this book, I am not expecting much. ( )
