An enjoyable funny female detective from the 1950s. I loved the cast of characters in the book and I look forward to more mysteries to come by Stephen's.

I keep coming back to these audiobooks because the narrator does a great job and the characters are just so funny and loveable. I wasn't as into the plot this time but still a funny read.

An enjoyable sweet Christia  romance with lots of great book references.
 Izzy was such a fun, relatable character to listen to. This was my first book of Basham's and looking forward to reading more.

This book is so poignant yet powerful, a few twists I didn't seem coming and I was on the edge of my seat at the end. It was very thought provoking as well beautifully written. 
While the story felt slow at time, it was necessary to fully understand the characters, each bringing their unique depth and hand life gave them for an immersive true-crime story. 
I felt this had some Shawshanke Redemption vibes which made it enjoyable.
