Wonderfully humorous story about the challenges of perimenopause, about friendships, and historic - and not-so-historic - mysteries. Hilariously funny, highly captivating, and thoroughly entertaining. I had a brilliant time reading it and could hardly put it down (as you can tell by my reading log).

This story is a mixture RomCom meets Mystery meets Women's Fiction (Is PeriMenoLit a thing yet? If not, why not?).

Only reason why it is 'only' 4 and not 5 stars for the rating is the noticeable amount of typos still in it, that got overlooked by, according to the acknowledgements several, editors and proofreaders.
