I wanted to like the book more than I ultimately did. It was a little slow in places, and I felt the whole story was a tad too long. The writing was well done but I could tell this was stretching me slightly outside of the crime novels I usually read and enjoy.

Three elderly women planning to murder someone. It sounds like the start of a wacky adventure. But there is nothing wacky here. Each of these ladies has suffered in some way in their past and it is their pasts that enable them to see the suffering of a young girl and want to desperately do the right thing and help her.

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.
