Rhea gave 5 stars to The Bullet That Missed (Thursday Murder Club, #3) by Richard Osman
These books are so delightful. The quirky characters and their snappy dialogue really draw me in. The plot of this one was a bit less interesting than others in the series, but the author kept introducing fun new characters, so I didn’t care. I hope he writes these books forever! The friendships are so touching.

Rhea added 'Animal Instinct'

Rhea gave 4 stars to Animal Instinct (Hardcover) by Amy Shearn
Woah, this novel really taps in to the zeitgeist. It says so much about what midlife women want right now - all the freedoms. The sex scenes were really well written, if a bit of a fantasy (ALL her partners were great at sex? Unlikely!). This book was pretty activating, and if you are a risk averse person prone to judgment, just skip it. But I found it really fascinating and mostly well written. One star off for how process-driven it was - the author was clearly doing some therapy in this work of art, which I am not opposed to, but it made it repetitive at times. I’m glad I read this, even though I despise AI!!

Rhea added 'The Maid's Secret'

Rhea gave 3 stars to The Maid's Secret (Molly the Maid, #3) by Nita Prose
I loved these characters, so even though I found this finale wanting, I still got choked up at the end. In this final installment of the series, Molly still shines, but the parts in Gran’s voice were less interesting. I had to take a full star off for the character of Speedy - the author’s attempt at vernacular was so embarrassing. But I will read what she writes next, as, overall, this was such a charming series.
