A Daughter's Guide to Mothers and Murder
by Dianne Freeman
Dianne, how are you going to beat this perfection now?
Frances and George are again in Paris. They were asked to help investigate a murder from a few months prior. They are so awesome, even the French police need them.
There are a few unexpected turns in this book, but the masterfully crafted mystery is not the reason why it’s the best book in this series. We already knew that Frances and George were the best sleuths in the world. George is also the hottest.
What stands out is the girl power; I loved the women in this book, and I loved the feminist undertones. Frances’s mom was mostly a Mrs. Bennet type in the previous books, but she redeemed herself in this one. The portrayal of early motherhood (Frances’s sister just had a baby) was very realistic and I loved the pragmatic approach the author took here. We need more books like this.
Thanks to my bestie Kristina for the buddy read, it was fun! ❤️
I received a complimentary copy of this book. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.
