Switched to audiobook part way through because my edition was an older one and had some 'of the time' lines that weren't even relevant to the story (a scene of a young couple having an argument and using the g-slur was in there randomly too. The characters didn't even appear again in the story!) Probably would have given it a higher rating if I hadn't watched the episode and known 'whodunnit' before starting it.

#8 in series.
Will I read other installments? Yes; it's on my committed list.
Comparison to others in series: Better.

I knew the ending because this is a story that has been around for a while.

Perhaps based on the real life of an actress from the 1940s.

This was an interesting read. The storyline was different from her other books and even though I guessed the murderer pretty early on it was still quite intriguing since I wanted to know why she was killed.

Marina Gregg made perfect sense imo, since she was super fixated on the word child early on so I guessed that she killed heather because of something related to children I just didn't know exactly what.

however there were some misogynistic lines in this book and it was overall quite ableist.
