Blessed Water

fullDescription

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.

     Douaihy follows up Scorched Grace with another deliriously enjoyable, relentlessly plotted adventure for chain-smoking “punk nun” Sister Holiday Walsh. Sister Holiday spends her days teaching music at Saint Sebastian’s School in New Orleans, and her nights operating the newly established Redemption Detective Agency alongside former fire inspector Magnolia Riveaux. After a potential client stands the women up for a consultation, they stumble on a priest’s corpse floating in the Mississippi River. They go straight to the police, who hire the Redemption detectives to aid with the investigation. Over a rain-soaked three-day Easter weekend, Magnolia and Sister Holiday uncover a trail of secrets that may be linked to both the murder and the disappearance of the parish’s other priest—and that could mean danger for more clergy members if they don’t act fast. Douaihy is more concerned with Sister Holiday’s faith in this entry (a key subplot involves her preparing to take her final vows), but there’s still plenty of local color and high-stakes action to keep fans of the first book on board, and the mystery itself is even more gripping this time out. This series continues to impress. Agent: Laura Macdougall, United Agents.

     Douaihy's second "Sister Holiday" mystery is a delightful follow-up to Scorched Grace, where listeners were first introduced to Sister Holiday Walsh, the tattooed, chain-smoking, profanity-loving, queer former rocker who is now making a new life for herself in the convent at St. Sebastian Parish. She was never a conventional nun, and she is less so now that she has her P.I. license and is working in the newly formed Redemption Detective Agency, alongside former fire inspector Magnolia Riveaux. The first case on their docket: one missing priest, and another whose corpse has been found floating in the Mississippi River. This delightfully irreverent sleuthing adventure is brilliantly narrated by actor Mara Wilson, the former child actor best known for her role in the 1996 film Matilda. Wilson offers a magnificent performance; her articulation and delivery as the inimitable Sister Holiday are unmatched. VERDICT This fresh, tongue-in-cheek mystery abounds with snark, heart-pounding thrills, vibrant characters, and the sweetness of found family. Listeners will eagerly await the next installment in this outstanding series.--Erin Cataldi
