sooo good and funny but also a bit tense sometimes ? i LOVED the characters bc they're so human and they're old ladies ??? but i would have loved to learn a bit more about them :( also if the ending wasn't the ending i would have given it 3 stars, and i really couldn't tell if he was going to die or not
also !! something that bothered me a bit was the difference in pov ? meg and grace have 1st person but nina and daphne don't ? i don't understand why

Wtf did I just read??? Going into this book, I thought it was going to be a cozy mystery or a humor filled thriller. Golden girls with a twist of murder if you will. However, that could not be further from what it was! This was such a dark and compelling story. It exposes issues in this world that desperately need to be talked about more. I was truly captivated by this book and found myself so consumed despite how heavy it was. This book left me feeling angry and sad because although it was fiction, it is the disturbing reality for too many people in this world. Very well written and a story that unfortunately needs to be told to bring more awareness. This one will stay with me for a long time.

When a young girl rushes into a café when three elderly women are having a cup of tea after an exercise class, their worlds collide unexpectedly.
The three friends from very different backgrounds vow to protect the young woman from the menacing character she is running from, but they must enter into a dark world that they are unfamiliar with and at what cost?
It was great to have the backstories of the characters unfold as the storyline took hold. The way the story progressed was brilliant and unexpected.

A Beginner's Guid to Murder by Rosalind Stopps is a thriller with a twist that captivated and engaged me in equal measure. It's funny, smart, well-written, and has good storyline and characters. I highly recommend that people go out and purchase this book. Thank you to NetGalley and Harper 360, HQ for this copy.
