I was instantly rooting for Blanche, continued to cheer her on as the plot progressed, and was basically giving her a standing ovation at the end. She’s a great character, and her constant streaming thoughts throughout the day gave the book both a slice of life feel and also dosed out the mystery nicely.
The mystery itself was a bit tropey, but even the tropiest characters were described both frankly and with empathy. The plot lagged a bit in the middle, but once it took off it was hard to put down.
Looking forward to the rest of the series.
