Adventures in female bonding! It isn't exactly realistic that this many women kill their husbands in the same neighborhood at the same time, but you have to suspend disbelief in order to appreciate this dark revenge comedy. The book manages to honor the gravity of the subject of domestic violence during Covid lockdown while adding some levity and imagination to the situation and still be respectful. Funny, not funny. I listened to the book on audio from the library and the narrators did an excellent job. Imogen Church, in particular, is one of my favorites.
