This really was meh on every metric.
Some of the characters (Martin and Gloria) were interesting and I always enjoyed their POVs and perhaps a book from just their perspectives could have been good. But Jackson is just a toe and it makes absolutely no sense that Louise fancies him.
The entire book is splattered with tired and offensive stereotypes and Atkinson is clearly an unpleasant women with backward views who I would never want to meet.
The plot wasn't particularly engaging and at no point did I really care about anything. The conclusions were then not very clever or surprising - Gloria wanted Graham dead, like okay? 
I will read the next one if you want me to Weasel but god was it giving nothing.
