Guilty Pleasure! I listened to this audiobook because of my book club.
I was hooked into the story and binge listened at the expense of sleep.

It’s a bit old-fashioned in some ways. The men are men and women are women, although the author does attempt to give some characters more atypical quirks.

There were a couple of times characters were described as black. So, all the others were white, I assume.

I would have thought it unnecessary, but have to admit, it was a cracking good yarn.
