comfort murder husbands reread

reread 2023:
this book is bonkers and probably bad but I’ve also read it three times, so do what you will with that
3.5 stars

Updated review post-reread Dec 2022:
I just wanted to list all the similarities between this book and Criminal Minds because I think it's hilarious:
-August has an "eidetic memory" and multiple PHDs just like our friend Spencer Reid, also is a super-genius and graduated all school hella early (i'm pretty sure they even studied similar subjects)
-Just like Spencer, August's mom had schizophrenia
-The love interest worked in the behavioral analysis unit of the FBI
-Calliope is a master hacker on-call 24/7 for info-gathering (Penelope Garcia????)

first read:
I truly have no idea how this author always manages to write a book that has a lot of elements I normally don't like but somehow makes me enjoy myself???

This book is ridiculous and insta-love and occasionally almost silly and corny but I still had a great time. August is probably my favorite Mulvaney.

I DO think it's a tiny bit weird that in these books the characters are always gettin down n dirty immediately after something traumatic happens, but you do you I guess. Just...be prepared to suspend ur disbelief if you're gonna read this?? I don't even know. I don't even know how to explain these books.
