• Diverse cast of characters? N/A
• Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

4.5

I read this after going through a couple of comparable mysteries by other authors. What I will say is that Karen Slaughters writing is so much more confident and experienced. I cried, I laughed, I rooted for our girls. I was glued. This was a WELL CRAFTED story.
