4.0

Epistolary, novel length, kind of interstitial. Scarlett is out on parental leave, writing a diary ostensibly to pass on to Corry, and trying to slowly wade back into her job. It’s less fast paced and intense than the regular books, because a) she’s a brand new mom recovering from having a baby and b) it’s more internal coping than mystery solving/crisis averting. But the characters and wit are there and there IS a mystery, and you know if you’ve read the other… 11? … you might as well dive in, you’ll probably enjoy it. Unless you’re usually there way more for the plot than the characters, in which case I suppose you could skip it.
