"In the latest in the USA Today bestselling, award-winning, critically acclaimed series, New Orleans punk rock nun-detective Sister Holiday plunges into a "hellish underworld of drug trafficking, addiction, and her own dark past in a journey that is both riveting and sacred." (Ana Reyes, New York Times bestselling author of The House in the Pines)
"Divine Ruin is fearlessly inspired." (Gillian Flynn)
It's a steamy, restless end of the school year in New Orleans. Sister Holiday is finishing her music classes and preparing for her permanent vow ceremony, a pivotal moment in her journey of faith. But when one of her favorite students is found dead of a fentanyl overdose, Sister Holiday and her partner-in-PI, Magnolia Riveaux, are determined to track down the drug dealers. As students continue to fall prey tothis sinister drug, Sister Holiday becomes more desperate to stop the epidemic-while facing her own past with addiction, a demon that is never too far.
With Douaihy's signature mix of grit, heart, and faith, Divine Ruin tests the limits of Sister Holiday's devotion in her darkest and most shocking case yet."
"'Nach fünf Seiten war ich verknallt. Schwester Holiday ist einfach großartig.' Gillian Flynn
'Eines der besten Krimidebüts, das mir seit langem untergekommen ist.' Don Winslow
Die neue coole Krimi-Serie um Schwester Holiday, eine Nonne, die gerne Punkrock hört!
Als ihre Klosterschule Ziel eines Brandanschlags wird und der Hausmeister Jack tot aufgefunden wird, stürzen die Schwestern und die umliegende Gemeinde ins Chaos. Unzufrieden mit den Ermittlungen der Behörden ist die eigensinnige Schwester Holiday, die gerne Punkrock hört, Kette raucht und stark tätowiert ist, entschlossen, den Täter selbst zu finden. Ihre Ermittlungen führen sie in der schwülen Hitze von New Orleans auf einen verschlungenen Pfad voller Verdächtigungen und Geheimnisse, der sie gegen ihre Mitschwestern aufbringt. Aber Schwester Holiday ist keine Heilige. Um den Fall zu lösen, muss sie sich mit den Sünden ihrer Vergangenheit auseinandersetzen ... Ein rasanter Auftakt zu Margot Douaihys cooler Serie, die dem Krimi-Genre mit einer ungewöhnlichen Hauptfigur neues Leben einhaucht."
"Tattooed from her neck to her toesand sporting a gold tooth as sharp as her wisecracks, Sister Holiday struggles to stay on the righteous path. Never one to make things easy for herself, she’s committed to taking her permanent vows with the Sisters of the Sublime Blood and joining former fire inspector Magnolia Riveaux’s latest venture, Redemption Detective Agency—both in service of satisfying her eternal quest for answers.
When Sister Holiday and Riveaux set out to bust a philandering husband, they instead find the body of a priest floating in the swollen Mississippi River, and with it, Redemption’s next case. It’s significantly more gruesome than their original mission, but Sister Holiday feels called on by God to hunt down the murderer and keep her community safe.
As a torrential rainstorm drowns New Orleans for three harrowing days over Easter weekend, Sister Holiday and Riveaux follow the clues. With the stakes rising alongside the relentless floodwaters, our favorite punk nun-sleuth throws herself into the deep end yet again.
A lacerating and lyrical plunge into obsession, deception, and the questions that hold us captive, Blessed Water is a lights-out mystery that will leave you breathless."
"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 readers guessing until the very end."
