So fun!!! A book club pick that appealed to all of our tastes. This reads INCREDIBLY quickly and our members that did the audiobook loved the narrator. Our three main women are quirky and flawed and independent in their own ways. Their shenanigans are delightfully low stakes but are made to feel like the biggest possible deal in the funniest of ways. 

While I couldn't predict the murderer, we all pretty easily saw a connection that they don't make until basically the end. So you might spend a lot of time yelling at the book. 

Dog doesn't die on page, but there is discussion of a historical dog death.
