A review by ergative
A Newlywed's Guide to Fortune and Murder by Dianne Freeman

2.5

I saw a post on mastodon by an author, a little while ago, who was perplexed that someone would read every book in a long series of hers, and give each of them 2.5 or 3 stars on Goodreads. But that is this series to me. The books are fine. I like them. They're reliable, they're pleasant, and they're copious. There are pretty gowns and tea parties and murder. I need something to listen to when I chop onions or scrub the bathroom or wake up at 3am and can't get back to sleep. These books fill that gap in my life.
