Pretty good book. As some other reviewers have mentioned, it's nice to see an older woman as a protagonist. I think the character voice is very strong in this book and really comes through in Brigid's narration. I have some personal critiques; the plot takes a while to really start up in my opinion (though that may just be due to the timeline I was reading it on), and there are some quite obvious errors that editing missed; a couple places where there was 'lay' where 'lie' should've been, protagonist taking gloves off multiple times in a scene, etc. There were also some decisions the main character made that seemed to come out of left field and that didn't entirely make sense to me as I read them. I really like the protagonist's relationship with her husband and her character overall. The twists are executed quite well, and were a big part of what won me over in the end. I might actually read the second book in this series if the library has a copy available.
