Styx and Stones by Carola Dunn
2.0
In a time when there is a lot of uncertainty the formula of these light murder mysteries has been diverting but the female characters are stereotypically week and flat and in almost every book Dunn brings up something problematic about race, sexuality, class, mental health etc and just drops it in the plot without dealing with it at all.
I am a bit embarrassed I listened to so many of these but they were available from the library when I needed something light that wrapped up nicely at the end of each book.
If you are looking for period mysteries the Maisie Dobbs books are much much better. (The Verity Kent mysteries are also good but there are less of them and the last one available now does not have a neat ending so I have to wait for the fourth book to hopefully find out what happens)
