This was fun!
Eight books into this series and she gives us a twisty mystery with extra snark and a decidedly pro-woman flavour. I dunno if Dianne was radicalized recently but this had a great undertone about men, power and motherhood that I loved.
You know I love an anti-men agenda, and though George is a golden retriever ideal husband and the exception that proves the ‘not all men’ rule, Frances was the star of this show (she usually is) and she kept him in his place as her low-level sidekick. Maybe I’m the one who’s radicalized 🤔.
Anyway I enjoyed this and I’ll probably tone down this review at some point but I’m annoyed by the world right now and any book that speaks truth to power will make me happy.
Thanks to NetGalley for the complimentary copy.
