This wasn’t quite as… ruthlessly murderous as the first book, which knocks it down a bit rating wise. Maud is a bit… nicer in this book and feels a little odd. She ends the book by doing something really nice for other people… it just feels weird. Still enjoyable but feels different than the first book.

For my diversity challenge: mc over 50yo

I just love how her solution to every little problem is murder. Didn't like this one as much as the first book, though. The last story was very sweet and a nice finale that shows the softer side of Maud
