A convent where the rules of God
are suspended, and silence
hides the worst of sins. 
Misericorde floored me because it takes faith and places it inside of a pressure cooker.
You’re Hedwig, the unlikely anchoress detective.
You’re pulled out of solitude to solve a murder, and the only thing making you trustworthy was your captivity.
The convent becomes less a holy cloister and more a theater of hypocrisy,
where vows dissolve within the misericorde,
a loophole that sanctifies debauchery by refusing to name it.
What gripped me wasn’t just the mystery… it was the way that Hedwig herself was written.
She’s naive but curious—frustrating, and yet endearing… all at once.
Like the church itself, she carries contradictions; capable of both deep compassion and sharp foolishness.
The story lingers in your chest and mind because every revelation whispers that truth will not save everyone.
Even sanctuaries can rot.
