APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
The city of New Orleans has a starring role in Margot Douaihy’s second mystery featuring aspiring gumshoe and novice nun Sister Holiday. The tattooed, chain-smoking queer woman of God is starting her first official case when she sees a body floating in the Mississippi…that turns out to be the mutilated corpse of her own parish priest. Set over an Easter weekend as a massive spring thunderstorm is pummeling New Orleans, Blessed Water oozes with atmosphere. The tension is high from the story’s first moments through its final twists. Actress Mara Wilson’s laconic narration captures both Sister Holiday’s sardonic wit and her intense need to stay true to her faith even in her darkest moments—of which there are plenty. Don’t worry if you haven’t read the first book in the Sister Holiday series. You’ll still fall for this wonderfully imperfect heroine.
