I love a good mystery with relatable characters and a big splash of humor. This hit the mark on all counts. I absolutely loved every single character, the mystery was fantastic and I was laughing throughout the book.
Clio is trying to make ends meet after her soon-to-be ex-husband, Gary, took her business and home, and she has every reason to want him gone. Or so she thought until the moment she found his body on her front steps, and she becomes the prime suspect. Now she and her two best friends are on a quest to solve his murder and clear Clio’s name. It turns out there are plenty of people who wanted Gary dead.
I am ecstatic that this book is becoming a series because I just need more. It was entertaining from the very first page and I finished it in under a day because I simply could not put it down.
Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for a free advance copy of this book. I leave this review voluntarily.

Light-hearted, funny and easy to read, if a bit predictable. I realised who the murderer was the moment we met that person.
The only thing that confused me were cryptic mentions of past events in the life of the various women which were never really explained. I searched Amazon for a previous book I might have missed but apparently it's the first one in this series.

Format: Audio
I really enjoyed this. It had me laughing out loud and shaking my head multiple times at the situations Clio, Amber and Jeanie found themselves in. I also liked how we had two narrators with Gary’s chapters being read by a male narrator and the ladies’ chapters by a female narrator. I think this might be the first time I’ve listened to an audiobook with more than one narrator but it worked well.
It was a bit predictable – I’d guessed the twist about 80% in and I never usually get them right – but I didn’t mind that as I had a fun time listening.
