5.0

What a fun and spunky cast of characters. Great group of women who don’t feel that society pays much attention to them, uplifting each other, and becoming great friends, while solving murders.

The mystery was well written, most clues I found out as the characters did though I did guess some on my own. The over all plot formed well throughout  the story and even though I figured out part of the mystery the murderer was a surprise.

4/4.5 stars. Really loved how the book embraced its own silliness at times. Although it can't be a 5 star with the weird back story to Judith, tho I get that they needed a reason for her to be a collector.

Thank you NetGalley, Libro.fm, and the publisher for an advanced review/listening copy of this book.

This was a very tame murder mystery and I never really felt much tension. I would have liked to see the police process a little more, which felt rushed. I did like that the 3 MCs were older and that they used that to their advantage! 

The narrator was wonderful!
