It all started with a bar party on her hen party weekend. Jeanie is preparing to marry her longtime partner and father of her children, Tan, but things started to go south when a woman in a party shirt was stabbed to death. It continued to double spiral with some really convincing red herrings and blindsiding twists. Good quick read.

Three loopy forty something women friends with bad hangovers that suddenly got beyond worse when one of them woke up to find her almost ex-husband dead of blunt force trauma on the steps of her trailer home. The man was a loser, a people user, and stole his stepdaughter's funds so there was no dearth of suspects. Good mystery with characters who certainly are and a twisty plot full of almost convincing sneaky red herrings. Laughed my sox off!

This cozy, humorous murder mystery, which takes place in a quaint seaside town, was fantastic. The shocking death of what might be the worst ex-husband in history serves as the focal point of the narrative and kicks off an exciting series of events.

The possibility of the ex-wife being wrongfully convicted for a crime she didn’t commit terrifies her. She is innocent. Fortunately, she has the unshakeable support of three devoted friends who gather to ferret the facts and identify the real murderer.

Their tenacity, wit, and companionship make for a captivating and suspenseful read. I had trouble putting this book down!

Thank you to NetGalley and Boldwood Books for allowing me to read and review this ARC.… (mehr)
