Thanks Rolling Stone UK for sharing this piece about the punk & Riot Grrrl inspo behind SCORCHED GRACE. x⚡️❤️🔥

The debut mystery novel from @MargotDouaihy combines punk music and queer culture. It's also won the support of 'Gone Girl' author Gillian Flynn. Here, Margot explains some of the key influences behind the book. #readinglist

I'm sure you're absolutely shocked to hear I loved a murder mystery about a traumatized queer nun but had my undying loyalty maybe the quickest any debut author ever has; I hope to God the designation "a" Sister Holiday Mystery implies the first of many

I was lucky to read an ARC of this incredible book by - so much brilliance in this book: intimate friendships, unforgettable characters, nuanced ruminations on language and race and power. And it’s creepy AF, in the best way possible. Highly recommend!

LOVING Chicago Tribune's hot take on Scorched Grace: "Critiqued institutions, foregrounded sexuality and retained some lyricism, without losing the compulsive page-turning playfulness of a breezy read. Its title carried a dime-rack luridness."

The Lincoln Park-based novelist Gillian Flynn’s “Gone Girl” sold 20 million copies, redefined the mystery genre, and, ever since, publishers have sought “the next ‘Gone Girl.’”
Flynn has yet to follow up. But her name alone makes things happen today.

“The poet is on every page, and her depictions of grimy, sweltering, loveable New Orleans are sublime.”
Thanks to Blood & Whiskey for this great review of #ScorchedGrace. In the interview, we dig into place as a protagonist in crime fic & queering noir.
